Ongoing infrastructure improvement and property development are based on an underlying assumption: that Ottawa and Eastern Ontario can continue to rely on a reliable and environmentally friendly supply of electrical power. Is that a safe assumption? Following the launch of City Building 2025 magazine, Ottawa Business Journal publisher Michael Curran speaks with Bryce Conrad, President and CEO of Hydro Ottawa, about this assumption. What is Hydro Ottawa doing to build a modern and more resilient electric grid in the face of increasingly severe climate events? What projects are getting investment from Hydro Ottawa to ensure increased green energy? How can Hydro Ottawa prepare for increased energy demand triggered by electric vehicles and AI? These questions and more are answered in this special podcast to launch City Building 2025 magazine. The theme for this year’s magazine is “Projects in the Pipeline.” The magazine looks at major development projects that are planned or springing up in six areas of Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.
