The annual clean energy frontier summit has put a focus on opportunities and challenges ahead for Bruce Grey and Huron counties.
The summit held last Friday at Cobble Beach put a main focus on how people living in a region driving the clean energy transition manage the social, political and environmental challenges it comes with.
Over the day, discussions were had about many issues from building big energy projects to workforce attraction and development.
Other event highlights:
- An overview of the growing medical isotopes and energy storage landscapes by James Scongack, Chair of the Canadian Nuclear Isotope Council and Justin Rangooni, Executive Director of Energy Storage Canada, respectively
- Panel discussions about workforce development and community engagement
- ‘Ask Anything’ session regarding the Bruce C project featuring Weina Chong, Lead, Bruce Power NextGen
Throughout the day attendees were asked to share their insight on topics explored in the panel and in the coming weeks and months, staff at the Nuclear Innovation Institute will use the data to advance its mandate of promoting the valuable contribution of the region towards net zero.
