OAKVILLE, ON, March 7, 2019 /CNW/ - Spark Power
Corp. (TSX: SPG) (TSX: SPG.WT), and Premier Sponsors,
Alectra Inc., and ABB, announce the launch of the inaugural Future
of Power event to take place on April 9,
2019, at Evergreen Brick Works in Toronto, Ontario.
"Spark Power is proud to host this future-forward event with our
Premier Sponsors, Alectra and ABB," said Jason Sparaga, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, Spark
Power. "It's a confusing time for the large industrial,
commercial and institutional power customers – confusion that is
fueled by the rapid transformation of the power industry. New
technology and declining costs are giving customers choice in how
they acquire, consume, and even generate power. Making a smart
choice requires information about power cost, quality, reliability,
and sustainability. The Future of Power puts the customer in
control."
"We are bringing together disruptors, visionaries and those
working in the trenches for an open discussion that will educate
attendees on what's possible today and in the future," added
Andrew Clark, Co-Founder, and
Co-CEO, Spark Power. "It's no secret- in 2019, power consumption is
based on choice and sustainability, but that cannot come at the
cost of reliability and quality. Customer success and community
welfare lie in combining those four elements at an affordable cost.
We look forward to hosting the business leaders, influencers, and
key decision makers who are at the forefront of choice, innovation,
and the Future of Power."
"We are thrilled to be part of the Future of Power event because
we are focused on driving innovation to meet our customers' rapidly
changing needs," said Brian Bentz,
President & CEO, Alectra Inc.
"This will be an exciting opportunity to explore what the future
holds, and to share new ideas and concepts with our customers and
industry colleagues."
The Future of Power will be a conversation for industry
stakeholders on the trends and technologies shaping the future, the
impact on manufacturers, and utilities to help move Canada towards a more sustainable future.
Topics will be centered around the Industrial, Commercial and
Institutional customer with a focus on clean energy technologies,
electrification, digitization, and artificial inteligence among
other areas.
"We are perfectly positioned today to take advantage of the
technological revolution that is enabling us to improve the
efficiency of the energy we consume, mitigating the effects of
global warming," said Nathalie
Pilon, President, ABB Canada. "Events such as, Future of
Power are key to delivering this message. We are proud to be a
sponsor and to drive the conversation forward for how Canada can continue to support and lead the
global transition to a cleaner future," added Pilon.
Special Guest Speaker, Colonel Chris
Hadfield–Astronaut and First Canadian Commander of the
International Space Station will deliver the event's closing
keynote address. Additional speakers will be announced in the
coming weeks.
