Why it Matters
Our energy systems are experiencing a deep transformation driven by changing consumer patterns, natural disasters, economic challenges, and global commitments to reducing our reliance on non-renewable natural resources. The Decentralized Energy Forum unites global Leaders that are taking meaningful action towards the development of a resilient and afforadble energy future.
What is the Decentralized Energy Forum?
We are Canada's only annual industry event dedicated to decentralised energy. We connect industry players to new business and partnership opportunities. Our forum showcases successful innovations that demonstrate the sector’s ability to contribute to a just transition to a decarbonised electricity grid and community resiliency. The goal is to accelerate the adoption of these innovations and to integrate them into real projects.
What is decentralised energy?
The animation explores the differences between traditionally produced electricity sources and decentralised energy solutions, with a focus on the role of prosumers (consumers who both produce and consume electricity), data and automation in accelerating the energy shift towards decentralised sources. If you’d like to learn about the full energy system and how the transition will provide a more efficient, resilient and affordable future, this is a great place to start.
