Securing Canada's Power Grid: Addressing Risks from Foreign Adversaries

Prime Minister Carney’s platform promised an East-West electricity grid to shore up our sovereignty and improve our national energy supply. As Canada advances its renewable energy initiatives, integrating technologies like solar and battery storage into the national grid, concerns about the security of foreign-manufactured components have come to the forefront.

Recent investigations have uncovered unauthorized communication devices in imported power inverters, as well as increased price dumping in strategic sectors that is threatening the viability of Canadian industry. Experts and politicians are raising alarms about vulnerabilities in our energy infrastructure both in Canada and the U.S.

Join Michael Worry, CEO of Nuvation Energy, leading battery management and energy storage solutions company, for an in-depth webinar exploring the implications of the new geopolitical reality on Canada's electrical grid. We'll delve into why these components are so high risk, what has been done in Ontario and the US to address this, and what’s coming next here in Canada.
