The Business Renewables Centre-Canada is excited to announce that, following a thorough and involved process which included BRC-Canada stakeholder interviews, an external job posting, reviewing over 100 applications, and two rounds of interviews, Jorden Dye was hired as the centre’s new director. 

Jorden was BRC-Canada's acting director for the past five months, while also fulfilling the duties of his previous post as program manager. During his time as acting director, the Alberta provincial government introduced a surprise moratorium for new renewable energy projects. It should get easier from now on, right?    

All kidding aside, Jorden is confident he can continue to accelerate BRC-Canada's growth and evolution as a strong voice for corporate renewable energy buyers, developers and intermediaries. Before joining BRC-Canada, he worked at Mount Royal University's Institute for Environmental Sustainability. His work focused on industrial environmental disclosure, industry response to the energy transition, and scaling a Parks Canada initiative.

His ambitions for BRC-Canada in the coming year are extensive. In addition to weighing in on moratorium matters when appropriate, Jorden has already mapped out several webinars to round out the year: 

•    Key Drivers for Canadian Renewable Energy Market PPAs (September 21 - for buyers only)
•    Canadian Jurisdictional Expansion (October 19)
•    Legally Speaking (November 23 - for buyers only)

Under his guidance, the BRC-Canada team is also working on an Energy Storage Primer and a Business Case Primer for community participants and blog posts on reliability, reclamation and agrivoltaics. 

If you have suggestions for additional topics, please email Jorden.
