Participation in conference  WaterPower Canada 2022

In the period from September 21st to 23rd in Toronto, Canada, Waterpower Canada organized a conference and trade show section for equipment manufacturers called Canadian Waterpower Week. The conference was attended by Canadian power companies (Ontario Power Generation, Hydro Quebec, Manitoba Hydro, British Columbia Power Generation, Newfoundland Labrador Hydro, Evolugen and TC Energy), market regulators, consultants and suppliers of equipment and services in the hydro industry. A total of 30 companies were present at the trade show, mostly suppliers of equipment and services. After 2019, this is first time that the conference is being held live again, which was an excellent opportunity to renew existing contacts as well as make new ones.

The goal of the conference was to focus on the planned upcoming increase in energy production using hydro potential within Canada’s energy mix, mainly by increasing the capacities of reversible hydroelectric power plants since they offer stabile supply and stabile grid conditions.

During the conference, representatives of Končar Generators and Motors (GIM) and Končar Engineering  (KET) held meetings with potential partners and agreed on future communication with electric utilities and local companies in order to establish the possibility of cooperation on the Canadian market.
