ABOUT:
Alberta’s electricity sector has made headlines on variety of issues; ranging from the powering of natural resource exploitation projects to challenges faced due to extreme weather.
Discussion is once again needed to asses where new opportunities are available, and where constant challenges can be mitigated. As such, we wish to invite you to participate in Insight Information’s 15th Alberta Power Summit.
Like in previous years, the 2014 Power Summit will tackle the critical challenges and opportunities facing Alberta’s electricity sector. This summit brings together policy makers and industry participants to encourage open and frank debate.
The select roster of speakers will share with you their expert opinions and insights on the issues that need to be addressed if an electricity market that will meet the needs of all participants is to evolve. Important and thought-provoking questions will be addressed in this comprehensive two day event that is designed to provide up-to-date insight into the forces that shape the Alberta and North American electricity markets.
If you want to hear about what is happening in the Alberta electricity sector with analysis by the key people who make it happen, you will not want to miss the 15th Alberta Power Summit.
We look forward to seeing you in November.
Sincerely,
