10th annual National Energy Roundtable Conference – November 20
September 10, 2025
SOCO Ballroom, Delta Toronto Hotel – Thursday, November 20
The 10th annual National Energy Roundtable conference on Thursday, November 20, 2025 will gather business leaders, innovators and policy makers for discussions on: Energy and national competitiveness
The past several years has seen a focus on Canada meeting its climate change commitments through a series of regulations, taxes and mandates aimed at reducing carbon emissions and increasing electrification. However, with the cost of living crisis, the impetus has shifted towards a focus on bringing the trilemma of reliability, affordability and sustainability in better balance.
The Canadian energy sector is further being impacted by dramatic geopolitical shifts. China’s expansion and the Trump presidency are having a significant impact on the country.
Where does this leave Canada? The country’s energy sector is uniquely positioned to be a global leader in transforming energy systems and potentially, as a global supplier of choice for energy security. Updating and expanding the country’s energy infrastructure and production represents an unprecedented technical challenge, and opportunity, that will see trillions of dollars capital deployed.
Canada must get back into the business of delivering major projects, including replacing aging infrastructure and developing the next generation of energy systems. This will be especially important if the country is to attract foreign capital and in the face of Trump’s trade war, pivot its manufacturing capacity to supporting areas ranging from western energy and resource mega projects, to technology and data centres.
Join the leaders shaping Canada’s energy future at the National Energy Roundtable conference and learn about the exciting advances that are driving Canada’s energy renewal and competitiveness. Topics will include:
- Advancing major projects – Canada’s energy growth strategy
- Permitting reform and the need to “Build Big and Build Fast”
- Large nuclear, SMRs and next-gen reactors
- The critical nexus of energy and manufacturing
- Canadian energy and resources – our trump card in a volatile world?
- Pan-Canadian transmission and interties strategy
- Natural gas – a bridge or the destination?
- AI’s transformation of energy systems
- Strategies to spur investments in tough to decarbonize sectors
