Energy storage is emerging as the backbone of Canada’s energy security—transforming how we manage power, secure supply, and compete on the global stage. But as the technology scales, the politics around it are heating up.

This fireside chat dives into the geopolitical and domestic forces shaping Canada’s energy storage future. How do cross-border dynamics with the U.S. create opportunities—or risks—for investment and supply chains? What role do tariffs and Canada’s shifting relationship with China play in securing critical minerals and manufacturing capacity? And how will federal and provincial decisions influence the pace of deployment and the country’s ambition to lead in clean energy?

Join Kory Teneycke, Co-Founder and CEO, and David Herle, Partner, both with Rubicon Strategy and Canada’s leading political commentators. With major projects underway with plans for more and global competition intensifying, Kory and David will unpack the high-stakes political realities facing energy storage—and what they mean for Canada’s path to energy independence and economic resilience.
