BRC-Canada is hosting a forum that brings together corporate energy buyers and renewable energy suppliers (developers and intermediaries). Driving towards BRC-Canada’s new goal of 10 gigawatts (GW) by 2030, the purpose of this forum is to advance the ambition of corporate renewables in Alberta and Canada, share the latest trends and insights in corporate renewable energy and bring the BRC-Canada network together to meet and exchange the latest insights into renewable energy development. 

Regardless of your experience in the PPA space, the BRC-Canada forum has a session for you. Join us throughout the day to hear from a wide range of experts. There will be buyers who are new to large-scale renewable energy procurement, companies actively working on projects and others that have finalized projects in the past. Renewable energy buyers, developers and intermediary firms will learn together from past experiences from the U.S. and Canadian markets and set the stage for what the future of corporate renewable energy procurement in Canada can look like.
