Greengate

Last month our CEO, Dan Balaban joined AI and energy leaders, executives and investors in Calgary for #TheBridge. This event brings together leaders from around the world in an effort to ignite meaningful connections and spark new ideas around the future of energy and AI. As part of the event, attendees toured the Travers Solar Project in Vulcan County as a way to spark meaningful discussions about the next generation of large-scale energy infrastructure and hear firsthand from Dan about the project’s development. At Greengate, we're proud to support initiatives that foster collaboration and innovation in the energy industry. As we unite to explore new solutions, we believe these discussions are key to shaping a sustainable and vibrant energy future. Well done Graeme Harrison, Dan Chapman, Greg Putnam and Oma Wilkie on putting together a world-class event!  #TheBridge2024 #GreengatePower #EnergyInnovation #RenewableEnergy #AI

Alberta is positioning itself as a hub for data centre development and an ideal destination for tech investment. However, the cost of power in Alberta is proving to be a challenge for investors. To overcome this hurdle, many data centres are exploring off-grid renewable energy solutions that would allow them to “bring their own power” alongside their investment. This innovative solution has opportunity to drive further energy innovation in our province but following the temporary pause on renewable development earlier this year, clarity is needed for investors. Clear guidance must be provided before data centres and renewable energy projects can continue to move forward in Alberta.

By the end of this year, the federal government is set to announce new climate targets, and the Net Zero Advisory Body is suggesting ways for Canada to get on track. The advisory body is calling for an emissions reduction between 50-55% from 2005 levels by 2035 and is also proposing that the country begin adopting carbon budgets, an approach that would set limits for cumulative emissions rather than sole focus on benchmark years. We must be ambitious and continue focusing on innovation to achieve a sustainable future. It is important that we collaborate and foster open dialogue to ensure that progress is made, and our industry propels forward.

Our CEO, Dan Balaban, was thrilled to participate at Energy Disruptors in Calgary this week. The event offered a meaningful platform to discuss the future of renewable energy, both locally and globally, with industry leaders and innovators. As we strive for a cleaner, more sustainable energy future, fostering collaboration and finding common ground is crucial to advancing the energy transition. It’s events like this that help to drive progress! #GreengatePower #EnergyDisruptors #EDU2024 #EnergyInnovation

Canada is moving forward in the renewable energy space! An Irish company is planning a major renewable energy project in rural Nova Scotia, which is set to include wind farms, solar power and green hydrogen production. This ambitious initiative highlights the growing importance of clean energy projects in rural areas, which are playing a key role in driving Canada’s path to net-zero. It's encouraging to see more large-scale renewable projects taking shape across the country. Together, these efforts push us closer to a more sustainable, low-carbon future.

At Greengate, we believe that innovative, forward-thinking solutions are key to addressing environmental challenges. Together, we can drive positive change for the generations to come. #GreengatePower #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition

Today, I’m profiling one of Canada’s renewable energy pioneers, award-winning Calgary based entrepreneur Dan Balaban, the Co-founder & CEO of Greengate Power. Greengate has successfully developed over 1 GW of operating and in-construction renewable energy projects in Canada, including our largest ever wind energy and solar energy projects. These projects represent nearly $2 billion of investment, are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 1.7 million tonnes per year and produce enough renewable energy to power more than 400,000 homes. Aside from being one of the leading voices for renewables in Canada, Dan is also passionately involved in the Calgary community, serving on multiple non-profit boards. I’ve had the very good fortune of getting to know Dan on a personal level over the last 7 years and count him as a friend. Dan will be speaking at Energy Disruptors on Oct 2nd.
