Sam Treacy, Research Analyst at the ACET Impact Investing Hub at the University of Victoria, will speak about her Master’s research on the impact of wildfire smoke on solar power generation in Alberta, which was completed in 2024.
Patrick Michell, Rebuild Director at Lytton First Nation, will speak about the effects of wildfire smoke that he has experienced on solar projects in Lytton and Kanaka Bar, BC, over the past several years. The presentations will be followed by time for audience Q&A.
The Renewable Energy Climate Adaptation Project (RECAP) is a project led by the Fraser Basin Council in partnership with Natural Resources Canada and other key collaborators. The goal of RECAP is to enhance the resilience of BC’s renewable energy systems, with a focus on solar and biomass energy.
