FRENCH TO FOLLOW.

Smart Grid Innovation Network (SGIN) Canada, in collaboration with  Research New Brunswick (RNB),  University of New Brunswick (UNB),  Clean Energy Connections (CEC) , and the North Shore Mi’gmaq Tribal Council (NSMTC), has launched an engagement and listening workshop series to better understand the barriers hindering clean energy development in New Brunswick. After reviewing numerous surveys, studies, and reports, we have identified key themes that pose challenges to clean energy development. Now, we aim to connect with as many New Brunswickers as possible to hear your thoughts on how to address these barriers.The identified themes are:

1. Communication and Collaboration
2. Trust and Confidence
3. Understanding How Energy Drives Economic Growth
4. Workforce Attraction and Retention

We are in the process of connecting with individuals and groups across the province to hear their ideas on how we can shape the energy transition and have more voices in future energy strategies. Please join us virtually to share your voice. This event will begin at 5:00 PM using the teams link. Please contact Hannah (hannah.hackett1@outlook.com) for more information regarding the joint project.

As part of its activities, Canada’s Smart Grid Innovation Group (SGIG) led a project in collaboration with ResearchNB (RNB), the University of New Brunswick (UNB), Clean Energy Connections (CEC) and the North Shore Mi’kmaq Tribal Council (NSMTC). This project took the form of a series of engagement and listening workshops.

After reviewing numerous surveys, studies and reports, we were able to identify key themes that pose challenges to clean energy deployment. We now want to reach out to as many New Brunswickers as possible to get their thoughts on how to overcome these barriers.

The themes chosen are as follows:

1. Communication and collaboration
2. Transparency and trust
3. Understanding how energy drives economic growth
4. Attraction and retention of labor force

We are currently connecting individuals and groups from across the province to hear their ideas on how we can shape the energy transition and gain more visibility into future energy strategies.

We are pleased to invite you to a (free) clean energy listening session, which will be held in Edmundston on February 18 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
