On this week’s Insights podcast, Michelle Robichaud, President of the Atlantica Centre for Energy and Heidi Leslie, CEO of Crux Energy Consulting join Don and David to discuss a new report prepared for the Atlantic Energy Collective. Entitled An Atlantic Canadian Energy Future, the report outlines the state of the energy sector in the region. There are many important energy projects on the drawing board from Gull Island in Labrador to offshore wind in Nova Scotia. Robichaud and Leslie make a compelling case that the region would be better off if there was greater collaboration within Atlantic Canada among governments and energy utilities. From the importance of natural gas to the potential of ‘behind the meter’ electricity production, they go deep but explain things in a way that is relatable to a general audience.
