Episode 049: Project developer Dan Balaban and the future role of renewables

Recorded on Zoom in early December 2021, episode 49 features a conversation with Dan Balaban, President and Executive Chair of Greengate, an Alberta-based company in the centre of the energy transformation. Greengate has been developing renewable energy projects at scale, and boasts the largest wind, and soon the largest solar project in Canada. In our discussion, we talk about some of Greengate’s signature projects, electrification and decarbonization, and the pivotal role energy storage will play. Dan also gives us his take on policy changes that will be required to hit our targets, and we close the conversation with some book banter, and Dan’s recommendation to add to the Flux Capacitor Book Club.
