ENERGY TRANSITION CHALLENGES

Renewable energy production and mix integration

Smart energy systems, resilience & cybersecurty

Decarbonized mobility

Energy storage & conversion

Multi-energy microgrids

Energy efficiency in buildings & industry

France has been historically a centrally driven country with high quality energy grid management ► Nationwide/international companies, Research leadership, and related

business networks • Deep knowledge with companies such as EDF, RTE and Enedis, and the SuperGrid Institute,

specialized in high voltage networks, energy conversion and direct current systems. • Top leading academies ( UGA/ENS3E in Grenoble ) on Energy & Grid Management • Mini-grids and micro-grids and power management at the local level with Schneider Electric and

many SMEs around the SmartGrid Institute (Institut Smart Grids)

►Times evolve … with raising renewable energies spreading, open market, new services and citizen energy awareness

Main trends : eco-urban areas, massive extension of renewables (Solar, Wind), new usages ( ViG, V2G ), multi energy approaches ( Power to Gaz, H2 storage ) challenging grid resilience and economical model , and creating new comers ( services )

►Decarbonized energy sector as a strategic one … • Share of Nuclear will stay high but decrease until 2050, while renewable replace fossile

energies, developing as well a solid industry footprint on those markets. • Cybersecurity as a top mind concern.

Challenges on Power Management

French alliance to share collaboration specifically for

European projects

Local energy systems : generation and load balancing Energy management (generation and load forecasting, flexibility, curtailments,…) Energy storage Big Data processing and management Collective and local self-consumption Energy planning from districts to cities (data plateforms, …) Digital customer services (energy savings, smart buildings, …) Citizen engagement (citizens’ energy projects, local community workshops, …)

! Many networking activities are driven to support our companies in their business

• Working groups, webinars, • We participate regularly in European utility Week which has now changed name to become

ENLIT: we hope to be in Milano in 2021.

CLEAN ENERGY & MANAGEMENT

KEY STRATEGIES IN BRITISH COLUMBIA

Strategy What is it?

CleanBC Plan The Province of British Columbia, through CleanBC, has set province-wide GHG emissions reduction targets of 40%, 60% and 80% for 2030, 2040, and 2050.

BC Hydro Review (Phase 2)

In March 2020, BC Hydro published the interim report from Phase 2 of their review stating they will support the government’s CleanBC plan by expanding the electrification of the economy and powering more activities from electricity.

FortisBC Clean Growth Pathway to 2050

FortisBC pathway to align with provincial goals to reduce GHGs while supporting economic growth and maintaining affordability and customer choice.

ENERGY TRANSITION

Increase cleaner energy in key sectors of the economy

TRANSPORTATION ● Low Carbon Fuel Standard ● Zero Emission Vehicle Mandate 100% by 2040 ● ZEV Rebates

BUILT ENVIRONMENT ● Building Electrification Roadmap ● British Columbia Energy Step Code ● Heatpump Incentives ● Building Innovation Fund

ENERGY ● Renewable Gases - H2, RNG ● Energy efficiency programs

BRITISH COLUMBIA ADVANTAGES

● 25% of cleantech startups identify their primary market in the clean energy and management.

● Strong Research & Development across Universities - UBC, UBCO, SFU & BCIT

● Partnership with Washington State on the Clean Grid Initiative

● Supporting Policy Environment

● CORE Cleantech Cluster & Foresight dedicated to facilitating partnerships.
