CLEAN POWER. MADE IN NIAGARA.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2018 Power of Water Canada Conference – the largest annual gathering of the hydroelectric sector in the country! Over the next three days more than four hundred (400) delegates and over sixty (60) exhibitors will gather to discuss both the opportunities and challenges facing the industry.

This year’s conference program is filled with a diversity of topics that are sure to appeal to the broad range of expertise and interests of our attendees. Our opening session featuring panellists from the International Hydropower Association, the National Hydropower Association and the Canadian Hydropower Association is but one example of the breadth of scope the conference has become.

I am particularly excited to launch the OWA’s new strategic plan at this year’s event – Reinventing and Reinvesting – with a vision that “Waterpower is recognized as the most valued electricity source in Ontario – Affordable, Reliable, Sustainable”.

I want thank all of our sponsors, speakers and exhibitors for their contributions and for helping to make this year’s conference the success I am sure it will be. Your support and participation helps to build confidence in our industry and sparks interest in our sector from beyond our borders. I’d like to thank in particular those participants from abroad who have chosen to make Ontario home for the next few days. I hope you take the opportunity to experience some of this great province.

So, as we gather together for this year’s conference, I hope you take the time to connect and reconnect with clients, colleagues and friends, to reflect upon what collectively the sector has achieved and to prepare for opportunities to come.

Sincerely,

Paul Norris, PresidentOntario Waterpower Association

“Sticker prices” of electricity alternatives seem to suggest that it is becoming increasingly

challenging for waterpower to compete only on cost. But what about value? What accounting

frameworks should be used to compare assets with much different life-spans, capacity factors

or environmental footprints? Discuss and debate these questions in an interactive forum.
