SUMMARY:July 9th Networking\, Dinner & Presentation in Windsor
DESCRIPTION:AEE Southwestern Ontario \nJuly 9th Event – Windsor\nThe AEE Southwestern Ontario Chapter invites members\, colleagues and guests to our next in-person event in Windsor\, featuring networking\, dinner\, and two presentations on the forces reshaping Ontario’s energy landscape. \n \nAgenda:\nNOTE  – Venue to be determined. \nSession 1: Examining Ontario’s energy market to inform energy planning\nSpeaker: Plamen Notov\, VP\, AEE Southwestern Ontario Chapter \nGetting you up to speed on the Ontario energy market\, because the last twelve months were not a normal twelve months. \nThe Ontario energy market just had its most consequential year in two decades. If you manage a facility\, design energy systems\, or advise anyone who does\, at least one thing in this presentation can change a decision you make this year. \n\nThe GA flip: Global Adjustment went negative for the first time in 19 years. What it means for Class A and Class B users\, and for your capital plans.\nGas has a boat now: LNG exports are resetting the price floor\, and Ontario power prices with it.\nThe new rulebook: Ontario’s Integrated Energy Plan and Ottawa’s $1-trillion grid strategy.\nOur backyard: $12B+ in battery gigafactories between Windsor and St. Thomas\, and what the region’s build-out means for energy professionals here.\n\n \n\nSession 2: At the Intersection of Electrotech\, Renewables and Fossil Fuels\nHow integrated\, flexible energy systems are taking over\, and why. \nSpeakers: Jeremy Lytle\, Founder & CEO\, and Paul Kealey\, Chief Voice\, Sponge Microgrids Inc. \nForget “clean” tech versus oil and gas. “Electrotech” doesn’t require a moral imperative; on cost alone\, it’s already won. Solar\, batteries and intelligent compute are reducing net energy requirements and converging on a cost curve that has already beaten fossil fuels\, even as North American leaders look the other way. This talk traces that shift from the global view down to the Ontario electrical room. We will look at real numbers from real projects: a farm at 60% bill reduction\, a factory at 54%. We will discuss why conventional solar net metering is dying\, and how something far better\, Solar + Battery and Virtual Power Plants\, is taking its place. \nIn 2026\, every business should be taking power into its own hands\, striking a defensive and mutualistic relationship with the grid and with global energy markets. Let’s talk about how to make that possible. \n
