In Conversation with Guy Holburn: Leading to Transform the Energy Sector
In this episode:
The energy sector is entering one of the most transformative periods in its history. Driven by electrification, new technologies, and evolving stakeholder relationships, utilities and policymakers are navigating a landscape defined by both immense opportunity and complex risk.
Joining us is Dr. Guy Holburn, Professor of Business, Economics, and Public Policy at Ivey Business School and Founder of the Ivey Energy Policy and Management Centre. Drawing on decades of research and advisory experience, Holburn unpacks the forces reshaping Canada’s electricity industry—from decarbonization goals and megaproject governance to Indigenous partnerships and public ownership models.
In this conversation, he explores how policy, technology, and stakeholder collaboration are redefining what smart growth looks like for Canada’s energy future—and the leadership mindset required to get it right.
