Technology play
Most of the renewable energy deployment we've seen
in Canada to date has not been particularly high-tech
in terms of the technology being deployed, says Sadik-
man. Layer this fact onto the pending twilight for large
utility scale renewable energy projects — particularly
in Ontario — and the focus appears to be shiing to-
wards the integration of new initiatives into the elec-
tricity consumers' experience.
Sadikman feels that, for forward-thinking investors,
the real opportunities for renewable energy in Ontario
— past the next couple of years, anyway — is going to
be about deploying those technologies at the point of
the electricity consumer, either behind their meter or
integrated at the place it's being used.
"It's about innovation. For example, one of the next
technological frontiers is really integrating renewable
energy technologies with energy storage to solve the
historical challenge with renewable energy, which is its
intermittency."
- Chris Christopher, Torys LLP
"We must recognize that
we are competing on a
global basis for investment
dollars. We should approach
renewables in Alberta
like most jurisdictions do
and say, 'It's a worldwide
competitive game and we
need to be in that mix.'"
