Description
Energy for Life: the evolving energy landscape and what it means for Manitoba Hydro and its customers
As leader of one of Canada’s greenest utilities with the second lowest electricity rates in North America, Manitoba Hydro CEO Jay Grewal will discuss the “energy transition” – changes we are already experiencing, and those on the horizon, to the ways energy is made, delivered, and used. Jay will discuss these ongoing developments in the energy sector and will provide an overview of input from industrial, commercial and residential customers across the province about the role they would like Manitoba Hydro to play in providing them with Energy for Life today, tomorrow and for decades to come.
