Join JEDI and Atlantica Centre for Energy for a partnered webinar series surrounding energy literacy for indigenous entrepreneurs, community economic development officers, & others!

This first webinar will be a high-level discussion, beginning with introducing basic energy terms, summaries and introduction of the topic, and engaging participants on what energy-related topics they would like to learn more about. The feedback on the content will help shape future webinars in the series as well as additional capacity development that will ideally help with navigating energy conversations in the province.

What’s included:

Energy vs. electricity fundamentals

New Brunswick and Atlantic Canadian energy context

Electricity grid 101

MW, MWh, peak demand, capacity and capacity factor

Technology strengths and trade-offs

Reliability, cost, land/water/community and economic opportunity
