As heat pumps scale up across Canada, how utilities plan and prepare for accelerated adoption will shape the future of building electrification.
On Thursday, November 5, join Shauna Sylvester (Urban Climate Leadership) and Julia St. Michael (Toronto 2030 District) in conversation with Brandon Young (BC Hydro), Etienne St-Cyr (Hydro-Québec) and Tom Berkhout (Birch Consulting) as they explore:
how utility programs are supporting heat-pump adoption;
the relationship between heat pumps, peak demand and system planning;
demand-side management and flexible-load strategies;
regional differences in electricity systems and customer needs; and
opportunities for utilities, governments and building-sector partners to work together.
The session is perfect for building owners, utilities, policymakers, energy managers, engineers, sustainability professionals and retrofit practitioners.
