Facing the Challenges: Achieving Decarbonization Goals for the Electricity Grid in CanadaThe federal government mandate in Canada for electric utilities aims to achieve an emission-free electricity grid by 2035. As Canada moves towards transitioning to the emissions-free grid, this workshop will focus on the challenges and opportunities in decarbonizing the electrical grid. Understanding these complexities is crucial for professionals, students, and anyone passionate about sustainable energy solutions in light of the federal government’s ambitious mandate to reduce greenhouse gas <a href="http://emissions.IEEE" target="_blank" title="emissions.IEEE">emissions.IEEE PES Kitchener-Waterloo Chapter in collaboration with the IEEE PES Student Chapter (current or potential), IEEE PES Ottawa Chapter, Department of ECE, and Waterloo Institute of Sustainable Energy (WISE) is organizing a one-day workshop at the University of Waterloo to discuss the challenges in achieving decarbonization <a href="http://goals.Date:" target="_blank" title="goals.Date:">goals.Date: 28 November 2024 (Thursday)Venue: University of Waterloo Agenda: - 09:00 AM - 09:45 AM: Registration and Networking (Refreshments provided)- 09:45 AM - 09:55 AM: Opening Remarks: Prof. Kankar Bhattacharya, Chair, Dept. of ECE, University of Waterloo- 09:55 AM - 10:25 AM: Keynote by Prof. Jatin Nathwani, Energy Policy Chair, University of Waterloo- 10:30 AM - 11:45 AM: Panel 1 - Challenges in Achieving Decarbonization Goals in Canada’s Grid- 11:45 AM - 12:15 PM: Technical talk: Nidhi Santen, Program Manager, EPRI- 12:15 PM - 01:00 PM: Lunch (provided)- 01:00 PM - 02:15 PM: Panel 2 - Pathways to an Affordable and Reliable Clean Energy System- 02:20 PM - 03:45 PM: YP/WIE/Student Session: Careers in Emission-Free Electricity Sector- 03:45 PM - 04:00 PM: Closing RemarksUniversity of Waterloo , Waterloo, Ontario, Canada
