A Perspective on Canada’s Electricity Industry in 2030

Leave a reply

I wrote this piece with my friend Denis Chartrand as a companion document for my CEA presentation back in February 2018 (See http://benoit.marcoux.ca/blog/cea-tigers-den-workshop/) but I now realize that I never published it. So, here it is!

About Me

I have designed, financed, managed and sold systems, services and organizations through the transformation of the telecom and energy industries. As a business advisor, I have sold, led or supported over a hundred customer engagements on six continents, including the management of the largest smart meter installation program in Canada.

Always a bit of a geek, I’m a professional engineer with a master’s degree in Applied Sciences and an MBA. I regularly publish analysis on my professional blog, www.benoit.marcoux.ca/blog, and comment industry news on LinkedIn,www.linkedin.com/in/bmarcoux/.

While being semi-retired, I’m helping smart start-ups succeed in the energy business and I’m taking on some selected projects. I’m always eager to exchange on where the industry is going.
