Podcasts about MOU

In this in-depth episode of the Engage Podcast, host First Officer Ryan Argenta is joined by MEC Executive Administrator Captain Rich Wheeler and Scheduling Committee Vice Chairman Captain Josh Cantrell to unpack the growing complexity behind open time, inverse assignments, and the rollout of Quick Slips under MOU 25-05. The conversation traces how chronic understaffing, outdated staffing formulas, expanding flying schedules, and evolving contract provisions have combined to create today's operational pressure cooker. Rich and Josh explain how PCS, manual trip coverage, batch sizes, proactive rest, and 23 M.7 usage interact behind the scenes, often in ways that are invisible to line pilots but deeply impactful to pay, quality of life, and schedule stability. They break down why inverse assignments exploded in recent years, how “race-to-the-phone” coverage undermined seniority, and why Quick Slips represent a major shift toward restoring transparency, structure, and fairness in last-minute flying.   With historical perspective and practical insight, this episode separates fact from rumor and explains what “controlled chaos” really means in today's scheduling environment. Whether you're chasing premium flying, protecting your days off, or simply trying to understand why the system feels so strained, this conversation offers clarity, context, and a realistic path forward.

"Mou le va a hacer el pasillo al Madrid, cómo corresponde a un líder de la Liga española"

Sovereign Metals Ltd (ASX:SVM, OTCQX:SVMLF, AIM:SVML, FRA:SVM) managing director and CEO Frank Eagar talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the significance of a newly signed non-binding MoU with Traxys, recently selected for the US government's $12 billion Project Vault, and what it could mean for the Kasiya Rutile-Graphite Project in Malawi. Eagar explained that while Kasiya is widely recognised as a primary rutile project, it will also produce substantial volumes of natural flake graphite at a highly competitive incremental operating cost of $240 per tonne delivered onto a vessel. He said this cost positioning places Kasiya at the bottom of the cost curve and provides a strategic advantage in global graphite markets. The MoU covers up to 80,000 tonnes per year of graphite, a meaningful portion of planned production. At full scale from year six, Kasiya is expected to produce around 250,000 tonnes of flake graphite annually, with approximately 140,000 tonnes per year during the first five years. Eagar stated: “It's going to be the world's largest producer of natural flake graphite.” He also addressed China's dominance in graphite supply, noting that Kasiya's projected cost base creates the potential to compete effectively and position the project as a long-term, secure source of supply for US and global buyers. Looking ahead, key milestones include completion of the definitive feasibility study, permitting in Malawi, a mining licence application, environmental approvals, and advancing project finance discussions, including collaboration with the International Finance Corporation.

When a company crosses the line from technical validation to signed commercial agreements with secured financing, markets take notice. HPQ Silicon has signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding with a strategic industrial partner to form a joint venture that would build and operate a 1,000-tonne-per-year commercial fumed silica plant valued at US$20.0 million. The partner has already secured project financing. This follows January 30, 2026 independent verification confirming HPQ's pilot-scale reactor produces commercial-grade "150" fumed silica. With the technical risk answered, now came the commercial deployment question which seems to now be answered with one breaking headline:HPQ Signs Joint Venture MOU for a Commercial Fumed Silica Plant with Strategic PartnerWHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWFinancing Secured: The strategic partner has already locked in project funding for the US$20.0 million commercial plant, eliminating a major execution risk.Grade 150 Verified: Independent testing on January 30, 2026 confirmed HPQ's pilot reactor produces commercial-grade fumed silica meeting industry-standard 150 m²/g surface area and required viscosity specifications.Toxic-Free Process: HPQ's plasma-based reactor eliminates silicon tetrachloride and hydrogen chloride - the hazardous chemicals that forced half the industry to relocate to China.Dramatic Cost Advantage: The single-step process consumes ~ 87% less energy and produces ~ 84% fewer emissions than conventional multi-step manufacturing while enabling on-site production.Q2 2026 Target: Definitive agreements are expected by the end of second quarter 2026, with plant delivery anticipated within 12 months of joint venture formation.Commercial Structure and Strategic IntentThe joint venture is expected to own and operate the facility, with production sold under an offtake arrangement to the strategic partner (terms and conditions yet to be agreed upon). Under the contemplated structure, HSPI (HPQ's wholly owned subsidiarywould receive recurring royalties on each kilogram of fumed silica sold, (price/kg not yet agreed upon), providing HSPI and HPQ with long-term exposure to operating revenues while maintaining a capital-efficient profile.HPQ does caution with “While the MOU reflects a shared intent to proceed, there can be no assurance that a joint venture will ultimately be formed, that it will be completed within the anticipated timeline, or that it will prove commercially viable.”STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONSFor decades, fumed silica manufacturing has relied on a toxic, multi-step process that converts metallurgical silicon into silicon tetrachloride, then hydrolyzes it at extreme temperatures while generating massive volumes of hydrogen chloride waste and CO₂ emissions. Environmental regulations pushed at least half of global production to China, creating supply chain vulnerabilities and locking manufacturers into centralized production models with complex logistics. What incumbents failed to achieve was elimination of the chemical inputs entirely - the breakthrough that enables decentralized, on-site manufacturing.This positions HPQ to redefine how manufacturers access a US$2.57 billion global market dominated by chemical giants who cannot easily replicate a process they don't control.CEO BERNARD TOURILLON:"This is the demonstration of all the work we've done paying off. We've demolished the barriers to entry to make fumed silica. Now we're building something solid, step by step. The fumed silica business is becoming a very strong standalone thing."For investors seeking exposure to advanced materials disruption with tangible proof points and near-term commercial deployment, this marks the inflection from development to deployment.

Tim Shearcroft,  CEO and Co-Founder of BP Silver Corp. (TSXV: BPAG), joins me for a review of the results from the first two drill holes of its initial eleven-hole Phase I drill program at the Cosuño Silver Project, located in the prolific Bolivian silver belt. Additionally, the Company is working on finalizing the title at their Titiri Project, located in a major under-explored silver belt with Tier 1 discovery potential.   The Phase I drill program tested four initial targets in the southern portion of Cosuño, selected as initial targets because they were outcropping, in an area that is covered by surficial overburden.  Drill Holes CO-0001 and CO-0002 were drilled in the Jalsuri target, a northwest-southeast trending ridge formed by a prominent mineralized structure.  These results validated that the lithocap at Cosuño is mineralized with precious metals and base metals.   CO-0001 intercepted 62 meters of 56.96 silver equivalent (AgEq), including 29 meters of 80 AgEq, and 4 meters of 150 AgEq CO-0002 intercepted 33 meters of 62.86 silver equivalent (AgEq), including 3 meters of 124.95 AgEq   The remaining 9 holes from Phase I will have more holes returned from the Jalsuri, Benhur, Pocalleta, and Pocañita Chica target areas.   We also discussed the potential for future drilling at the other portion of Jalsuri, and the Pocañita Grande targets.   We discuss the prospectivity of Bolivia for mineral exploration and exploitation, the handful of companies that have made solid advancements on their projects in country, and how the political administration has recently changed to become more amenable to foreign business investment and mineral extraction.   Additionally, their team is working with the government to finalize obtaining the title to begin exploration on their Titiri Project.   Titiri was staked over a large land concession containing outcropping mineralization historically explored by ASARCO.  This Project contains a 2.5km-long silver-lead-zinc zone, with excellent historical trench results, that was never drilled. Titiri is a very High Priority structural setting at the intersection of several major crustal-scale faults, along which multiple deposits occur.  There is a MOU in place with local communities, and they'd like to get on the ground for exploration in mid-2026.     If you have any questions for Tim regarding BP Silver, then please email those into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from BP Silver Corp     For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Leading Edge Materials CEO Kurt Budge joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share news that the company's wholly owned Swedish subsidiary, Greenna Mineral AB (GMAB), has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Ascension Earth Resources. The agreement marks an important step in evaluating innovative processing approaches for the Norra Kärr rare earth element (REE) project in Sweden. Budge told Proactive that, under the terms of the MoU, GMAB will supply eudialyte mineral samples from the Norra Kärr deposit to Ascension. Ascension will carry out comprehensive laboratory analysis and metallurgical testwork using its proprietary processing technology. The collaboration is designed to assess both the technical and commercial feasibility of extracting and recovering rare earth elements—particularly heavy rare earth elements (HREEs)—from the HREE-bearing eudialyte mineralisation at Norra Kärr. The Evaluation Project will focus on several key workstreams, including detailed mineralogical and chemical analysis of the eudialyte samples to determine their composition, purity, and recovery potential. Testwork will also examine leaching behaviour and assess the suitability of the mineralisation for commercial-scale processing. In parallel, Ascension will work on developing preliminary processing concepts specifically tailored to the unique characteristics of the Norra Kärr deposit, alongside an evaluation of the overall commercial viability of rare earth extraction. Budge also shared with Proactive a significant near-term catalyst is the pending decision from Sweden's mining inspectorate on a 25-year mining lease for Norra Kärr, following endorsements from two regional governments in December 2025. Budge described this lease as a potential "game changer" in terms of de-risking the project. Additionally, Leading Edge is making progress on its Romanian Bihor Sud project, where a Competent Person's Report has been completed, potentially paving the way for new investment. #proactiveinvestors #leadignedgematerials #tsxv #lem #nasdaq #lemse #otcqb #lemif #NorraKarr #RareEarths #REE #HeavyRareEarths #HREE #CriticalMinerals #GreennaMineral #AscensionEarthResources #SwedenMining #Eudialyte #Metallurgy #MiningInnovation #StrategicPartnership #EnergyTransition #CleanTech #EuropeanResources #BatteryMaterials #SustainableMining

Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, visited Linamar, a Canadian company and global leader in advanced automotive manufacturing, to highlight the Government of Canada's new Automotive Strategy. The world is changing rapidly, fundamentally reshaping trade relationships and leaving economies, businesses and workers under a cloud of uncertainty. Canada's automotive industry is on the front line of this shift, with more than 90% of Canadian-made vehicles and 60% of Canadian-made auto parts currently exported to the U.S. The government is focused on what we can control—implementing a new industrial strategy. Canada is transforming the economy from one that is reliant on a single trade partner to one that is more resilient to global shocks—a stronger, more sustainable, more independent economy built on the solid foundation of strong Canadian industries and bolstered by diverse international trade partners. In parallel, the government is launching a national electricity strategy to leverage our energy advantage to provide clean, affordable and reliable power to Canadians. These shifts present a unique opportunity to transform Canada's auto industry to be less reliant on the U.S. and gas-powered vehicles. To that end, the government has introduced a new auto strategy that rewards the production of made-in-Canada vehicles and harnesses our world-class capabilities in artificial intelligence and technology expertise to build the cars of the future. This is a strategy that positions Canada to become a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) production. On February 5, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the following new measures: 1.     To accelerate investment in Canada's auto manufacturing sector, the government will:allocate $3 billion from the Strategic Response Fund and up to $100 million from the Regional Tariff Response Initiative to help the auto industry adapt, grow, and diversify to new markets.harness the Productivity Super-Deduction and reduced corporate tax rates for zero emission‑ technology manufacturers to encourage investment in clean technologies and EVs.2.     To rationalise emissions reduction policies to focus on outcomes that matter to Canadians, the government will:introduce stronger greenhouse gas emission standards for model years 2027–32. These standards will put Canada on a path to achieve a goal of 75% EV sales by 2035 and 90% EV sales by 2040—reducing our carbon footprint and securing Canada's global leadership in clean energy.These more stringent emissions standards will enable the Government of Canada to repeal the Electric Vehicle Availability Standard. This approach will allow manufacturers to use a wide array of technologies to meet the standards and respond to consumer preferences in the near term, while driving EV adoption over time.3.     To build up a domestic consumer base and make electric vehicles more affordable and reliable, the government will:launch a five-year EV Affordability Program to lower the cost of EVs for Canadians and create a stronger domestic consumer market.The new $2.3 billion program will offer individuals and businesses purchase or lease incentives of up to $5,000 for battery electric and fuel EVs, and up to $2,500 for plug-in hybrids (PHEV) with a final transaction value up to $50,000 on cars made by countries Canada has free trade agreements with. To support the Canadian automotive industry, this $50,000 cap will not apply to Canadian made‑ EVs and PHEVs.enhance our national EV charging network through investments of $1.5 billion through the Canada Infrastructure Bank's Charging and Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure Initiative, making it easier and more convenient for drivers to charge their EVs across the country.4.     To establish a comprehensive trade regime that strengthens the competitiveness of the auto sector, the government will:strengthen Canada's automotive remission framework to reward companies that produce and invest in Canada.maintain counter-tariffs on auto imports from the United States to ensure a level playing field for Canadian automotive manufacturers in the domestic market.build on its recently strengthened strategic partnership with the Republic of Korea by signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to strengthen Canada Korea‑ industrial collaboration for future mobility. This builds on other MOUs that Canada has signed with global automakers to promote cooperation.focus on establishing a new strategic partnership with China, a global leader in EV manufacturing, to further diversify trade and catalyse new investment in the automotive sector. The recently announced partnership will look to drive new Chinese joint venture investment in Canada and allow for a fixed volume of Chinese EV imports into the Canadian market.[KP2]5.     To protect Canadian auto workers and businesses from immediate pressures while helping them bridge them to the future, the government will:provide support to employees through a new Work-Sharing grant—preventing layoffs and supporting worker retention so businesses can plan for the future.establish a new workforce alliance of industry, labour and training partners to address bottlenecks and catalyse private investment.provide employment assistance and reskilling supports for up to 66,000 workers across Canada, including for displaced auto workers, through a $570 million investment.The government will leverage our new and existing trade agreements—including the recent EV arrangement with China—to catalyse massive new investment in the sector, diversify Canada's auto export markets and position Canada as a global leader in EVs. Canadian workers and industries are well equipped to seize this opportunity, and we are making generational investments in critical minerals, including those essential for batteries, to secure Canada's place in the world's most important supply chains. The choices made now will shape the Canadian auto industry for decades to come. By protecting the industry and incentivising automakers to build here, we are helping ensure that Canada's workers and businesses can transform to compete and win in this new global environment. These measures build on previously announced initiatives to help transform strategic Canadian industries, including steel and softwood lumber. Together, they form an ambitious industrial strategy that will build a stronger, more resilient, more independent Canadian economy and ensure workers and industries can bridge to that future and seize its opportunities. Canada is a nation of builders and our auto sector has grown and powered communities across the country for more than a century. The skills and dedication of Canadian auto workers is at the heart of this new strategy. Our new government's message is clear: Canada intends not only to keep building vehicles at home, but to shape the future of the industry with Canadian workers at its core.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

This week on the podcast, Jackie and Peter are joined by Marcus Rocque, Vice President of Research at the ARC Energy Research Institute. This episode focuses on Canadian federal carbon policy, including a discussion of the carbon pricing policy for large industrial emitters and the recently finalized methane regulations, which target a 75% reduction by 2030 (relative to 2012). The discussion centers on how these policies affect competitiveness, investment, and infrastructure development in Canada's natural gas and oil sector. They start by discussing Prime Minister Carney's recent speech at Davos. Next, they review recent developments in Canadian carbon policy, including the Canada–Alberta Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed on November 27, 2025, in which both governments agreed to work toward an oil pipeline to reach Asian markets. The MOU also outlines a plan to develop a revised industrial carbon pricing policy and methane regulations by April 1, 2026. Not long after the MOU was signed, in December 2025, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), a federal agency, issued final methane regulations that conflict with the MOU, with one requiring an end date of 2030 and the other 2035.  Further to this, ECCC released a discussion paper in December titled “Driving Effective Carbon Markets in Canada”, asking for feedback by January 30, 2026, on potential changes to Canada's carbon markets, which are also being modified as part of the Canada-Alberta MOU by April 1. Jackie, Peter, and Marcus discuss what “carbon competitiveness” means and how Canadians should think about it in a changing global energy landscape. They also share concerns about the carbon market discussion paper and new methane regulations. Content referenced on this podcast:Discussion Paper: Driving Effective Carbon Markets in Canada.

Interview with Nolan Peterson, CEO of Atlas SaltOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/atlas-salt-tsxvsalt-rare-public-salt-play-targets-10-of-north-americas-de-icing-market-8676Recording date: 16th January 2026Atlas Salt is positioning itself to address a critical infrastructure need in North America through the development of the Great Atlantic Salt project on Newfoundland's west coast. The company targets the deicing road salt market, where demand consistently outstrips domestic supply by 30-40%, forcing North American buyers to source from Egypt and Chile with significantly longer lead times and higher costs.CEO Nolan Peterson, who joined the company in June 2025, explained the market dynamics: "There is a salt shortage year-over-year when you're balancing domestic production versus domestic needs. And domestically, I'm grouping Canada and the United States as one market." The timing appears particularly opportune, with Ontario currently experiencing severe shortages despite having a full year to prepare following last year's supply crisis.The project's geographic advantage is substantial. Located in Newfoundland with direct port access, Atlas Salt can deliver product to the same markets served by foreign producers in 15 to 20% less time and cost, according to Peterson. This proximity enables rapid response to spot market opportunities and provides supply chain stability that foreign sources cannot match.The updated feasibility study demonstrates robust economics with total capital requirements of approximately $600 million CAD. The project generates an NPV of $920 million CAD with a 21.3% after-tax IRR and $188 million in annual after-tax free cash flow over a 25-year mine life. "Our contrast is that we have steady stable cash flow year after year kind of like a dividend or a bond if you will once you get over that initial hurdle," Peterson explained.Construction activities are beginning imminently following financing completed in October 2025, with the company targeting Q2 2026 for a finalized debt package covering 60-80% of capital needs from sovereign wealth funds and infrastructure banks. Atlas Salt has already signed an MOU with Scotwood Industries, the largest distributor of packaged retail deicing salt in North America, while pursuing additional commercial partnerships and potential vertical integration opportunities.View Atlas Salt's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/atlas-saltSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

美台貿易協議（MOU）表面上是雙方經貿關係的深化，亦有人認為是「保護費」。根據這份協議，雖然大部分商品的關稅設定在10%，但針對晶片、汽車零件等關鍵產業卻有特殊條款。特別是晶片產業，雖然在投資階段享有免稅，但進入生產階段後，若產量超過特定比例，超出部分將面臨高昂關稅。這實際上是一種變相的產量限制與利益回收機制，美國意圖通過這種「普遍徵收、例外豁免」的方式，將半導體產業的利潤最大程度地留在美國本土。協議中提及的五千億投資承諾（包含由政府擔保的信託投資），更是引發了台灣社會的焦慮。美國商務部將此視為「頭盤」，暗示未來可能會有更多的索求。這種漫天開價的談判策略，與美國對待韓國等盟友的手法如出一轍。韓國財長曾以匯率穩定與投資外流的矛盾為由，成功爭取了談判空間，這或許是台灣可以借鏡的策略。此外，美國雖強勢要求晶片製造回流，但其本土缺乏後端的封裝測試產業鏈，導致晶片在美製造後仍需運回台灣封裝，這種「供應鏈斷層」不僅增加了成本，也暴露了美國「再工業化」的局限性。然而，台灣面臨的最大危機或許並非來自外部的壓力，而是內部的結構性問題，即所謂的「台灣病」。長期以來，台灣過度依賴單一科技產業，導致資源磁吸效應嚴重，其他產業發展受限。更為關鍵的是，台灣金融業的長期封閉與低效率。為了維持物價與匯率的絕對穩定，台灣的金融體系缺乏競爭與流動性，導致在面對如五千億這類鉅額跨國投資需求時，本土金融機構無力承擔，最終可能只能依賴美國的金融資本，進一步加深對美的依賴。台灣並非毫無籌碼。以航太產業為例，台灣生產的某些關鍵零部件（如雷達罩）是波音供應鏈中不可或缺的一環，這使得美國在該領域不得不給予零關稅待遇。這證明了只要技術具有不可替代性，台灣仍有談判桌上的發言權。此外，台灣亟需進行深度的金融改革，開放市場以提升資本運作效率，並重新盤點自身的隱形冠軍產業，才能在美台關係的不對等博弈中，爭取到更有利的生存空間，而非僅僅是被動地支付昂貴的「保護費」。 This is a public episode.

The Alberta separatism movement isn't new, but this most recent resurgence seems a little more potent. That's in part because of the passage of Alberta's Bill 14, which has made it arguably easier for citizen-led initiatives to end up on referendum ballots.And the question of Alberta sovereignty is likely to end up on a ballot by the end of the year. The Alberta Prosperity Project got the green light from Elections Alberta for its question,' Do you agree that Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?' in December 2025. The group now about four months to gather about 177,000 signatures to its petition.Host Cristina Howorun speaks with Dr. Barry Cooper, a political scientist with the University of Calgary and a long-time proponent of Alberta independence about why some Albertans want to secede from Canada, what happens next and how Ottawa can put some of those concerns to rest.

Predicting the Unpredictable: Energy and Geopolitics in 2026 This week, Peter and Jackie kick off the year with their 2026 outlook. They begin by asking a fundamental question: How relevant are predictions in an increasingly unpredictable world? While acknowledging the limits of forecasting, they outline key themes and directional expectations for 2026—and remind leaders that, in times like these, scenario development, continuous monitoring, and course correction are far more valuable than rigid forecasts. The discussion focuses on four major areas shaping the outlook for Canadian energy, spanning oil and gas and clean energy technologies: Global geopolitics and energy markets: examining how unfolding events in Venezuela and Iran—and ongoing tensions involving the United States, China, Russia, and Ukraine—could influence global energy markets. Oil and gas fundamentals: assessing the direction of oil prices and North American natural gas in 2026. Technology and disruption: exploring whether electric vehicles will regain momentum, how rapidly solar deployment will continue to scale, and whether projections for AI-driven energy demand will keep accelerating. Canada's unique circumstances: politics, policy, and infrastructure—from climate policy and the Ottawa–Alberta memorandum of understanding (MOU) on an oil pipeline, to elections (and potential elections) to watch. While predicting the future may be difficult, one thing Jackie and Peter are confident about is that the ARC Energy Ideas podcast will be here throughout the year—helping you navigate what is shaping up to be a consequential and eventful year for energy markets and geopolitics. Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify 

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, we start with the government asking quick commerce platforms to drop fixed delivery-time promises like “10-minute delivery” over rider safety concerns. Then, we track fresh funding for Sukino, Liquidnitro Games, and Dazzl across healthcare, gaming, and beauty services. We also bring you Acer India MD's warning on how platform-led price wars can hurt brands, and wrap up with Tamil Nadu's ₹10,000 crore MoU with Sarvam AI to build India's first Sovereign AI Park creating 1,000 high-skilled jobs.

It's a new year, so we're unpacking what 2026 could bring for Canada's energy sector. Host Trevor looks back at 2025, from shifting federal policy to rapid AI adoption. Then he scans the horizon: faster major project approvals, an east–west grid push, and new hydro and small modular reactor investments in Ontario. He also touches on AI-powered DER programs, battery storage, and wider support for industrial decarbonization. Plus a quick note on the podcast's new pace.   Related links   ●       Independent Electricity Systems Operator (IESO): https://www.ieso.ca/    ●       Save on Energy program: https://www.saveonenergy.ca/   ●       Trevor Freeman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/trevor-freeman-p-eng-8b612114   ●       Hydro Ottawa: https://hydroottawa.com/en     To subscribe using Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinkenergy/id1465129405    To subscribe using Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wFz7rdR8Gq3f2WOafjxpl    To subscribe on Libsyn: http://thinkenergy.libsyn.com/  --- Subscribe so you don't miss a video: https://www.youtube.com/user/hydroottawalimited Follow along on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hydroottawa  Stay in the know on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HydroOttawa  Keep up with the posts on X: https://twitter.com/thinkenergypod --- Transcript: Trevor Freeman  00:00 Welcome to a thinkenergy short hosted by me, Trevor Freeman. This is a bite sized episode designed to be a quick summary of a specific topic or idea related to the world of energy. This is meant to round out our collective understanding of the energy sector, and will complement our normal guest interview episodes. Thanks for joining and happy listening. Hi everyone, and welcome back and Happy New Year. Welcome to 2026 this is the first think energy podcast episode of this new year. Happy to be here with you. I'm your host, Trevor Freeman. So last year, we started off 2025 with a little bit of a look forward at some of the energy stories we might see throughout the year. And I think this goes without saying, 2025 was a pretty eventful year when it comes to energy and politics and all things associated with that certainly had lots of twists and turns, more than any of us expected. But I kind of think that's just the new normal in all things this during this time of history, but certainly when it comes to energy as well, I think we should just expect every year to be unexpected, lots of twists and turns. So I think the best way to start this one is to look back at some of the things we said we were keeping our eye on at the beginning of last year and see how they turned out, and see whether or not our predictions or guesses were correct and kind of what happened throughout the year. So just for a little bit of context, when we recorded this episode last year, Justin Trudeau, Canada's Prime Minister at the time, had just resigned the leadership of the party and as prime minister. So we knew that a new leader was coming for the Liberal Party, and likely a federal election was on the horizon. And at the time, the Conservative Party in Canada was much more popular with voters according to polls, and it looked very much like there would be a new government, a new federal government, but that is not what happened. And I'm sure Canadians will know that is not what happened. So after Justin Trudeau resigned, the liberals climbed in the polls. They chose Mark Carney to lead them, and not long after they won the election. Now in the episode last year, I had said that should the Liberals stay in power, which seemed like a long shot at the time, but should the Liberals stay in power? We knew what their energy policy was. They would keep the carbon the price on carbon. They would invest, continue to invest, in clean energy infrastructure and continue working towards their net zero goals. They had been working on that that was kind of a main pillar of the liberal party's approach to governing, and that felt like a safe bet. But even that did not come to pass. On his first day in office, Mark Carney canceled the price on carbon, and soon after that, he paused the previous government's EV target, or target to achieve certain sales on electric vehicles, and just recently, he has signed an MOU to work with Alberta on a new bitumen pipeline. So that is a little bit different than what we expected, should a Liberal government continue? So why is all this happening? Well, this, this isn't a politics podcast, so we're not going to get into all the specifics, but plainly stated, the government is saying they want to position Canada as a leader, both in clean energy, but also economically. And there are some economic pressures that the government is under, and this is what they are saying that is the best way to move forward in that so we'll get to some of the outlook on the new government, or not so new anymore government, but the current government shortly. But let's have a look at some of the other things that we said might happen for 2025 last year, we noted that utility companies would likely continue to use AI to streamline their processes and monitor infrastructure and just really take more advantage of AI. Personally, I can say that AI has moved forward in ways that we couldn't even predict last year, at least that, you know I couldn't predict last year. I'm sure there's folks out there who totally saw where this saw where this was going, but AI really is taking off in our personal lives, certainly in the workspace and definitely in the utility space as well. So we saw some of that come true, but we also see that AI is capable of way more than that in the energy sector, like all sectors of the economy and all areas of society are really looking at new ways to use AI and figure out what's the best way to integrate this into our business. How do we take this from pilot projects to, you know, actual core parts of our business? So that's continuing for sure. We also said that electricity companies or utility companies would continue to invest in. Grid modernization, and that certainly is happening. In August of 2025 the federal government announced a plan to spend over $13 million to update Ontario's power grid, with five major projects on the horizon, which is a huge investment, and investment of this size is really intended to make the system more reliable and help manage projected electricity demand. And you know the other thing, and I'm sure I've talked about this before on other episodes, so you'll be aware that hydro Ottawa is still in the in the process of getting approval for our next five-year plan, which has big investment in reliability and modernization and supporting continued electrification. And of course, we talked a little bit about the trade conflicts with the US, and you know how Canada is responding to that. And certainly, that was a major piece of 2025 it really formed a lot of the policy, or influenced a lot of the policy of both our federal government as well as provincial government when it comes to energy projects, it's increasing that look kind of east to west, rather than north to south. So making sure that we have good interprovincial energy cooperation and collaboration. And certainly, we've saw some progress on that throughout 2025 so on the sort of provincial side of politics, again, I'm in Ontario here, so we had suggested that we would likely see a provincial election in 2025 and certainly that's exactly what happened. The Ontario Conservative Party won another mandate, and part of their approach since they've come back into power, or one that new mandate is to look to expand clean energy, look to expand our nuclear fleet in particular. And we'll talk a little bit more about this in a little bit. So that's kind of a summary of the 2025 outlook that we did a year ago. Now let's get into what might we see moving forward in 2026 and again, you know, just the caveat here, this isn't a politics podcast. This is strictly about energy. So going to try not to weigh in on one side or the other of some of these issues, just highlighting what we might see moving forward. So, first off, major projects. So in 2025, this sort of newly elected Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, founded the major projects office. This department looks to streamline the approval process for what they consider nation building projects. You know, trying to help take the approval process for those projects to be like a two-year decision rather than a five year decision under that kind of previous process that it went through. On the website for this the Liberal Party states that they open the major projects office in part to build clean energy infrastructure quickly, and of the 11 nation building projects that they've announced so far, they are categorizing eight of those 11 as clean economy projects. On top of these, Mark Kearney reiterated his commitment to building an East West electricity grid, which would link those our provinces together and help, like I said earlier, help that flow of electricity east to west, you know, between provinces improve, rather than, you know, right now, we have a lot of great north south connections between us and the United States. So the intent is that these projects will really position Canada as a leader in clean energy, help us achieve our own carbon reduction and net zero goals and ensure that we can manage growing demand for electricity. So we're in very early days of those projects yet, and what I'm highlighting here is that we expect to see a lot more information about those projects, about how they're going to proceed, timelines, etc, during the course of this year, and likely even see some new ones get added to that to that current list. So speaking of major projects, our next item that we're keeping an eye on is the Alberta to BC pipeline. This definitely has been a big news item in the latter part of 2025 and as we move into 2026 we expect to see a lot more about it and hear a lot more about it. So near the end of 2025 the federal government smart Carney signed an agreement with Alberta's Premier. Alberta's government, led by Danielle Smith, and this agreement acknowledges the plan to collaborate on and expedite the approval process for a new pipeline, which will transport oil from Alberta to the coast of BC. And the federal government is calling this a nation building project, and it would streamline the review process for this pipeline. So really make it a lot easier to get through the various hurdles in order to actually be built. And sort of initial timelines are saying Construction is expected to start in 2029 So still a few years out. But this pipeline was controversial before the agreement was signed. So this pipe. China has been on the books, or, you know, in the plans for a while, and it was controversial to start with, and this agreement has, you know, only made it more so it was really skyrocketed this project into the public's eye, and there's a lot of controversy around it. Once the announcement went public, Liberal MP, Stephen Gilbeau resigned from the Prime Minister's cabinet citing the government's decision to walk back their climate commitments. So this is definitely controversial, mainly because a new pipeline will increase fossil fuel production by, you know, at least a million barrels per day is sort of the current estimate, which is counter to Canada's stated target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving net zero emissions by 2050. In addition, BC's Premier, David Eby, also opposes the project, arguing that the federal government moved ahead without meaningfully considering BCS concerns British Columbia's concerns, particularly around environmental risk and the spill response on BC's sensitive coastline and on their marine ecosystem, which would be put at risk by adding another pipeline in the area that they're talking about. In addition to that, many indigenous people in BC and elsewhere stand against the pipeline, and the government is still looking for indigenous stakeholders as part of this project. Now, Mark Carney and Danielle Smith both say they want Canada to reach its net zero target by 2050 but even after the deal was signed, Alberta announced some changes to its industrial carbon pricing mechanism that, you know, in a sense, weakened that tool, which a lot of people are kind of pointing at to say, clearly, climate targets are not a key driver in consideration in this. And so this there's a weakening of the climate tools that we do have in place is not a great sign, and we'll leave it at that. So there's a few caveats to this deal. First, the pipeline is only supposed to move forward if there's real progress on carbon capture. In other words, the pipeline and large-scale climate capture are kind of being treated as a package. So in theory, you shouldn't get one without the other. But carbon capture is yet to be implemented at scale. It's not clear that it's actually a viable solution, something that can actually have a meaningful impact at that scale. So it remains to be seen whether or not that that can actually happen second. And this is a big one, the pipeline needs a private sector partner to actually build it, and nobody stepped up for that yet. So it's important to know that this agreement between the federal government and the Provincial Government of Alberta is just to help streamline the process. Should a private sector partner come along to actually build this, the federal government's not saying they're going to fund it and build it, which is sort of contrasts with how the previous Liberal government traded a pipeline many years back. But we won't get into that here. So all that to say, don't expect any actual movement or shovels in the ground on this one anytime soon. And certainly, as this progresses, there will be lots of legal challenges, and sort of you know, there are, there are people on both sides of this, but we will hear a lot more about this in 2026 it's going to be a big news story. Things are going to happen, and we'll hear both from proponents of the pipeline as well as opposition to the pipeline throughout this year, it will definitely be a big energy story here in Canada and even beyond that, Okay, next up investments in Ontario, so let's look a little bit closer to at least home. For me, on a greener note, Ontario will expand its clean energy sector in 2026 the government has announced several new partnerships with indigenous groups, including two large scale hydroelectric dams in northern Ontario. We talked a little bit about that in a previous episode, and they've also committed $4.7 billion to refurbish and update existing hydroelectric facilities to make sure that they can continue to provide clean electricity well into the future. So some of these new stations, there's the Nine Mile rapids project and the Grand Rapids project. They are coming online, you know, at a time when we really do need additional capacity on our grid. So ISO, as I've talked about many times, ISO is predicting that by 2050 we'll see a 75% increase overall in the province. But specifically in northern Ontario, demand for electricity will increase by over 80% and to meet that demand, there's, you know, this is an all tools in the toolbox. Kind of approach here, in addition to all the other great things that are happening, distributed energy resources, energy efficiency, etc, we also do need more infrastructure, more generation. The government also wants to expand Ontario's nuclear fleet. This is a government that's very keen on using nuclear. Energy and expansion of our existing nuclear assets as an important tool to provide emissions free electricity. One big step that they've taken towards this goal is investing $3 billion into four small modular reactors, which will produce, you know, 1200 approximately 1200 megawatts of energy, which is a lot that's enough to power over a million homes. Construction on these started in 2025 but the reactors aren't expected to come online until 2030 but the important point is that the government is very keen, as I said, on nuclear energy, looking to expand our emissions free electricity in order to meet our growing electricity demand, but to do so in a way that still tries to approach our climate targets and make sure that we're providing emissions free energy. Okay, next step is AI we talked about this last year, and it's well, it'll be a topic of conversation for many, many years to come. So AI and electrification, lots more in store. This year, it'll be a key investment area for energy companies. Moving forward, for sure, we'll see utilities continue to use it to build smart grids, for example, to analyze the flow of electricity on their grids in real time. And hydro Ottawa is no different. We're a part of that as well. So just in the last few weeks here, at the very end of 2025 in December, the federal government announced a $6 million investment into hydro Ottawa's der accelerator program. And part of that program looks to utilize AI to help us analyze electricity demand manage it. So this program really looks to partner with customers in specific areas, areas of constraint, to leverage their own devices. So customer owned devices like smart thermostats, battery storage systems in order to help us manage electricity demand. And we'll use AI as a function of that, or as a tool to help us do that to really forecast when we need to take action and what action we can take. But AI goes well beyond that. So electrification is going to grow. Overall, electricity demand is going to grow. We're going to see more utilities looking for solutions like large scale battery storage systems in order to tackle that demand. These systems, the storage will help relieve the grid from additional stress and better utilize the infrastructure that we do have in place. So lots more to come on, the sort of next gen of technology when it comes to AI and grid mod and how we're going to use those to help manage this growing electricity demand that we're seeing Next up, and our last kind of main topic is decarbonization. So that's not anything new. Obviously, if you're listening to this podcast, you'll know that we talk about this all the time, and it's one of the main drivers of what's happening in the energy industry right now. But decarbonization continues. It's not a constant flow of progress in the same direction. There's sort of ebbs and flows, if you will. We saw lots of change on the decarbonization front in the last year, but it continues to be something that organizations need to figure out. We know that we need to decarbonize as a society. Our different sectors of the economy all need to figure out how they're going to decarbonize, and the stakeholders of that really need to figure out what their role is. So the ieso, as one of those stakeholders, has also been focusing on their own decarbonization support, but mainly Their support has been focused on transportation and building heating. But we expect there to be, you know, a bit of a broadening of that look from the ISO in 2026 looking at other sectors like mining, paper, steel, you know, cement production, refining, chemicals, etc, the list goes on. So really look to see potentially more support for others, other areas of the economy, and how they will achieve decarbonization with, you know, could be industry specific programs or initiatives. We should probably see more of that in the coming year. But that's not to diminish from the existing programs that are already in place, and we'll see more leverage of, for example, of the ISOs existing save on energy incentive programming which helps existing commercial businesses, industrial businesses, residential customers, really target energy efficiency, energy reduction in the in the decarbonization in their own lives or workplaces. So there will be continued leverage of that. Utilities will continue to promote that. So expect to see that be a big piece of 2026 so that's the areas that we've that we've identified in 2026 it'll be interesting to look back a year from now to see you know what happened? Was it in line with what we said here? What came out of the blue that we totally didn't expect? Or what was a bigger deal than. Maybe we thought it would be but really look forward to this year.
