MaRS Cleantech Fund,

Managing Partner Tom Rand named to Ontario's Clean Energy Task Force

Ontario has placed a big bet on clean energy. The Green Energy and Economy Act is the most progressive piece of climate legislation in North America. It’s also an important piece of Ontario’s economic puzzle. Billions of dollars are flowing to the wind and solar projects that form the back-bone of our clean(er) energy grid. Much of that equipment will be manufactured here because of the local content rules.
A central challenge remains: how do we ensure that Ontario moves from a protected local market to a globally competitive, export-oriented, Cleantech economy? How do we compete with China, India, the US on clean energy infrastructure? This, to me, is the opportunity (and challenge) the Green Energy Act puts before us.
