Dear Colleague:
I am pleased to invite you to join us at Insight Information’s
14th Ontario Power Summit. As in previous years, the
14th Power Summit will provide you with a comprehensive review
of developments in the Ontario electricity sector over the past
year and a valuable insight into the issues and opportunities in
the power sector in Ontario and elsewhere.
Conference Highlights:
We will look at the future of nuclear power both in Ontario
and around the world and consider whether solar power’s time
has finally come, particularly with the development of storage
capabilities. Our conference will consider future power system
challenges in Canada and beyond and then move on to focus
on the future of transmission and distribution in Ontario in
light of both technological innovation and the implementation
of the direction for the sector proposed by the Premier’s
Advisory Council.
Important and thought-provoking questions will be addressed
in this comprehensive two day event that is designed to
provide up-to-date insights into the factors that drive the
Ontario and North American electricity markets. Network
with your peers and hear about:

Dr. John Barrett
President and Chief Executive Officer
Canadian Nuclear Association
Dr. Barrett will take us through a look at a highly uncertain future and how
Canada’s nuclear industry is facing that future. The industry’s leadership
made a commitment to itself in 2014 to chart the path forward over next
25 years, with a vision of Canada thriving as a Tier One nuclear nation.
Participation was greater and more sustained than expected, and the five
Action Teams recently delivered progress reports. Dr. Barrett will recap
their work so far and talk about where it all points for Canada’s future as
an advanced economy and an international power.
