Energy Storage Canada is excited to be returning to Calgary this spring – and even better – to be joined by our partners the Canadian Nuclear Association and the Canadian Hydrogen Association! We invite you to join us, and host Bennett Jones, as we bring together some of the region’s key stakeholders to discuss the role for storage, nuclear, and hydrogen in Alberta’s future energy ecosystem. While Alberta’s energy market continues to evolve in its demands and structures, a range of emerging technologies within the storage, nuclear, and hydrogen industries are well-positioned to contribute to ensure reliable, flexible, and affordable electricity remains available to the industries and ratepayers of Alberta.
