As energy policy conversations move forward in 2013, “all of the above” options must be considered in developing new and renewable sources of energy. Join us for a discussion of the growing cooperative relationship between U.S. utilities and the Canadian hydroelectric industry, and how they complement each other.

For more than 40 years, Canadian hydropower has provided reliable baseload power to the U.S. electric grid. It has contributed to lower power prices and has helped reduce overall GHG emissions. Hydro’s proven technology is also encouraging the development of other renewables through large-scale energy storage, and acts as a backstop to more intermittent resources such as wind and solar.

Please join us to hear representatives from industry, public utilities, think tanks, and government officials from the United States and Canada speak about this important yet often overlooked energy partnership.

David Biette, director, Canada Institute will serve as moderator
