Flux Capacitor

Recorded on May 10, 2023, at Electricity Canada’s Regulatory Forum, held in conjunction with the annual CAMPUT Conference, the association of Canadian energy regulators. EY Canada’s Executive Director of Energy Transition Craig Sabine sat down with Francis for a fireside chat to launch the event, where they talked about the transition to a net zero future and the importance of electrification, challenges of current supply chain delays and how they might play out as electrification ramps-up, and the role the regulation will play in the energy transition. The conversation also touches on the pace of change, and affordability for customers. Links:Craig Sabine on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craig-sabine-mba-3487945/?originalSubdomain=ca
