Renewable Energy: Who’s Got the Power?

Renewable energy systems are increasingly disrupting the energy industry and seem like a scalable solution to fossil-fuel dependency. But where will the energy come from? Who will distribute it and how? Will clean technologies help democratise the electricity grid and put the power in the hands of the consumer, or will it need to be administered from the top down? Join our panel of experts for a roundtable discussion that explores the future of renewable energy over the next 20 years in Calgary and beyond. Participants will have an opportunity to join the conversation and ask questions.
