    Speakers


    As Alberta pursues a fundamental review of its electricity market and transmission policies, many questions arise for energy storage. Our opening plenary will explore what this Restructured Energy Market (REM) will look like, as well as how the transmission system will be planned, built and used—and how costs will be allocated—and what does this all mean for energy storage over the next five years?

    Speakers


    Alberta’s electricity demand has been flat for years, but it could increase significantly as industries, AI data centres and the population’s needs increase. Is our grid ready to provide reliability along with more supply? This panel will examine how energy storage can play a key role in supporting electricity customers in Alberta, as well as how new data centres can help bring reliability solutions to the table.

  1. Breaking down the barriers: Reducing constraints to energy storage solutions in Alberta

    Tuesday, June 03 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

    Speakers


    Energy storage can offer non-wires alternatives for transmission and distribution, enhance reliability and ancillary services, optimize assets by co-locating with load and generation, and facilitate market arbitrage. So why are there so many barriers to implementing energy storage solutions in Alberta? This panel will identify these barriers and highlight the steps needed to address them, in order to unlock energy storage’s potential in Alberta.
