4 16TH ONTARIO Agenda February 28, :00 AM REGISTRATION AND CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST 9:00 AM Welcoming Remarks from Insight Dr. Victor Pogostin, Insight Information 9:05 AM Opening Remarks by the Chair David J. McFadden, Q. C. Chair of The Board of Directors, Toronto Hydro Corporation Counsel, Gowling WLG Director, Ontario Energy Association 9:25 AM Keynote: Power Market Renewal What are the Opportunities and Challenges? Leonard Kula Vice President, Planning, Acquisition and Operations, and Chief Operating Office, IESO 10:00 AM NETWORKING COFFEE BREAK Sponsored By: 10:15 11:15 AM Renewable Energy Generation What is the Future in Ontario? Ontario has experienced a large amount of investment over the past decade in renewable energy generation driven by Provincial government energy policy. The provincial government has put the brakes on new feed-in tariff style procurement for the time being. This panel will discuss the short and long term future of renewable energy generation in Ontario. Scott Barker Director, Origination Liberty Power Co. Brandy Giannetta Regional Director The Canadian Wind Energy Association David Butters Association of Power Producers of Ontario MODERATOR: Thomas J. Timmins Partner, Gowling WLG Chair, Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA) 11:15 12:30 PM District Energy Does it have a Future in Meeting the Energy Needs of Ontario? District energy has been used to meet heating and/or cooling requirements in Toronto and Markham for many years. District energy has also been broadly employed in a number of European countries. Toronto is proposing to expand district energy in the city to both meet heating loads and to help meet the city s greenhouse gas commitments. This panel will investigate the potential role of district energy in meeting Ontario s energy needs both within Toronto and Markham as well as beyond in other municipalities? Bruce Ander Markham District Energy John W. Livey Deputy City Manager, Toronto Dennis Fotinos Executive Chairman, North America Enwave Energy Corporation Helga Reidel ENWIN Utilities Ltd MODERATOR: Ron W. Clark Partner, Aird & Berlis, LLP 12:30 12:45 PM Managing Assets What are the Options for Ontario Power Companies? There is a growing need for large utility companies in Ontario to improve how they currently manage their assets. Managing thousands of assets across multiple locations is a cumbersome task and without a properly implemented solution, the loss of assets and productivity is inevitable. This segment will investigate two topics of asset management: what factors result in a successful asset management solution and the financial benefits of a flexible tool leasing model. Phil Danielse Senior Business Developer Energy Sector Hilti (Canada) Corporation 12:45 2:00 PM NETWORKING LUNCHEON 2:00 2:45 PM What is the Future of Natural Gas in Meeting Ontario s Energy Needs? Natural gas has been meeting an increasing amount of Ontario s heating requirements in recent decades and has assumed a larger role in meeting the province s electricity needs through the development of gas fired generation plants. Over the past couple of years, the role of natural gas has been thrown into doubt with the statement by Ontario s Minister of Environment and Climate Change that natural gas should be eliminated as an energy source by mid-century. While the government appears to have backed away from that statement, this panel will probe the long-term role of natural gas in meeting Ontario s energy requirements whether it is for heating or power generation. Stephen W. Baker President Union Gas Limited Vince Brescia Ontario Energy Association 2:45 3:00 PM NETWORKING REFRESHMENT BREAK 3:00 4:30 PM Utility Transformation Is It Happening? Utilities around the world are facing significant new threats to their long-standing business models arising from the introduction and spread of innovative technologies, such as distributed generation and micro-grids. Some commentators have even talked about the death of utilities. This panel will look at what Ontario s wires companies think about this challenge and what they are doing to meet it.

Mondrow Partner Gowling WLG Silver Sponsors: 10:15 AM NETWORKING COFFEE BREAK 10:30 AM Cybersecurity An Ever Present Threat Cyber incursions and attacks are challenging business, government, and even charitable organizations throughout the world.
