TORONTO, March 10, 2011 - Over 400 developers, manufacturers, service providers and scheme
administrators are expected at the second Ontario Feed-in Tariff Supply Chain
Forum on April 19-20 in Toronto.
This industry critical conference is a proven must-attend event for
renewable energy experts. Last year's event sold out a week in advance and
the April Forum is on track to do the same.
"There was more information exchanged in these two days than at any other
event since the launch of the FIT," says David Dunnison of Dunnison &
Associates, who attended the first FIT forum.
The forum provides a much needed platform for wind, solar and biogas
developers, manufacturers and suppliers to explore the tremendous
opportunities created by North America's most ambitious feed-in tariff. It
offers the very latest updates on manufacturing capacity, domestic content
requirements, supply chain opportunities, and financing. It also covers the
most critical questions facing FIT forum participants including updates on
the province's transmission expansion plans and managing political
uncertainty in the run-up to Ontario's election next October.
Over 60 speakers from top renewable energy manufacturers, developers and
suppliers are confirmed on the agenda, including representatives from
Canadian Solar, Siemens, GE Energy, Vestas, Brookfield Asset Management,
International Power Canada, Recurrent Energy, Enercon, Silfab, and Suncor
Energy. Speakers also include representatives from the Ontario government
and the Ontario Power Authority (OPA) which is administering the FIT program.
SkyPower Limited is sponsoring a special breakfast session where OPA
representatives will be taking questions.
The forum has a growing list of industry supporters including main
sponsors Heliene and SunEdison as well as SkyPower Limited, Unirac, PCL
Constructors Canada, Altas Tube, Navigant Consulting, Schiller, Schletter,
Schneider and SunRise Power.
The event is also being supported by the Association of Power Producers
of Ontario (APPrO), the AgriEnergy Producers' Association of Ontario, the
Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA), the Canadian Wind Energy
Association (CanWEA), the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce,
the Green Energy Act Alliance, Hamilton Economic Development Corporation,
Niagara Economic Development Office, and the Ontario Sustainable Energy
Alliance (OSEA). Members and associates of these organisations can receive a
discount on attendance.
