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 i-meter MF3 is a 3-element meter, compared to the i-meter MF6 which is two element meter. The i-meter MF6 provides 1 extra 3-element meter in the same enclosure. This allows for the monitoring of Volts, Amps, KiloWatts, Power Factor, Frequency and Harmonics [V, I, kW, kVA, PF, Hz, THD (V/I)], of 2 meters in 1.

The Blue e+ series of cooling units are now also available in a stainless-steel version as standard off the shelf. Rittal will be presenting these energy-efficient units for the first time at SPS IPC Drives. They offer cooling outputs ranging from 1.6 kW to 5.8 kW. This improvement is particularly suitable for applications in the food and beverage industry, as well as in the process industry, where high levels of corrosion protection are called for.
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.”
