BluEarth President & CEO Recognized as one of Alberta’s Most Influential People
Alberta’s 50 Most Influential People highlights The Movers, The Shakers & The Difference-Makers in the province as named by Alberta Venture business magazine, covering Alberta’s business community. The list recognizes individuals who have left a positive impression on Alberta’s political, economic or cultural profile through their professional and personal accomplishments.
BluEarth Renewables Inc. (BluEarth) President & CEO Kent Brown has been named to this year’s list of recipients.
In just five years, BluEarth Renewables has raised more than $250 million in equity to build its portfolio of hydro, solar and wind power assets across Canada. Named Canadian Innovator of the Year by Clean Energy Canada last year, Brown expects BluEarth to have $1 billion in operating assets by 2017. Now if only he could convince his home province to get onboard. “There’s a policy vacuum,” he told the Calgary Herald recently. “There’s a tremendous opportunity given that we have probably some of the best resources for renewables in the country, if not the world, but we’re not taking advantage of that right now.”
“It’s an honour to be included in a list among such passionate and innovative leaders,” says Brown. “When we started BluEarth, I had goals that I wanted to accomplish: building a great company with the best team in a short period of time, and building a company that is built to last.”
Headquartered in Calgary, Canada, BluEarch is a private company focused on commercial scale renewable energy development. As an independent renewable power producer, its goal is to sustainably build, own, and operate wind, run-of-river hydroelectric, and solar generation projects across North America.

CSA Group Releases Potential Climate Change Adaptation Solutions for the CE Code
Climate change and its associated impacts will play a central role in Canada's electricity future. In fact, the Conference Board of Canada estimates that approximately $347.5 billion will need to be invested in electricity infrastructure to maintain the system reliability we have today. Making smart investments now can improve the system and help to avoid more severe climate related costs in the future.
“The critical infrastructure we rely on to power our daily lives must remain resilient to more damaging and frequent extreme weather events,” says Mary Cianchetti, President of Standards at CSA Group. “Standards play a critical role in making that happen.

Copper $US Dollar price per pound
In a recent interview with the The National Post, Electricity Human Resources Canada CEO Michelle Branigan said the need for workers in Canada’s electricity industry is “extremely critical.”
The industry directly employs almost 107,000 people, but less than 1 in 20 is aged 25 or under, only 1 in 4 is a woman, and just over 1 in 10 is from a visbile minority.
These statistics are from EHRC’s Workforce in Motion, a labour market intelligence research initiative for the years 2017-2022. The research report is a planning and informing tool for a wide range of electricity sector stakeholders and provides critical information to the sector for both short and long term resource planning.
