The Bruce County-based energy giant’s commitment will support the Ivey Energy Consortium in expanding faculty, research, and outreach initiatives to address energy issues.
Established in 2013 by the Ivey Energy Policy and Management Centre, the Energy Consortium examines the challenges and opportunities facing Canada’s energy sector, policy-makers, and community stakeholders. Bruce Power is the seventh partner in the group, which also includes ATCO, OMERS, Power Workers’ Union, Suncor Energy Foundation, TransCanada Corporation, and Union Gas Limited.
Among other contributions, the Energy Consortium helps Ivey’s Energy Centre to:
- Establish connections between academia and energy sector stakeholders;
