We use a broad definition of “digital energy solutions” and are interested in working with a wide range of technology companies providing solutions in:

• renewable energy grid integration

• demand side management including electric vehicle charging infrastructure and energy storage management

• grid operation and surveillance

• transmission and distribution level of power grids

• optimization of energy consumption/digital efficiency tools

The Trade Commissioner Service (TCS) supports diversity, equity and inclusion in trade. We strongly encourage companies led by Canadians of all backgrounds and orientations to apply.
