Happy to representing our incubator and partners at @UWVelocity and Problem Lab all the way from @UWaterloo. It will be great to see what this summit brings with it!
🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day Everyone! 🇨🇦 Canada is a world leader in the production and use of energy from renewable resources. Renewable energy sources currently provide about 18.9 per cent of Canada’s total primary energy supply!

Nearly 2/3 of all new power generation capacity added in 2018 was from #renewables — led by emerging and developing economies — according to the latest data from @IRENA. Learn more: https://t.co/T5smHm5nI0
Renewable power is the cheapest source of electricity in many parts of the world already today, new @IRENA ‘Renewable Power Generation Costs in 2018’ report finds. #Renewables are cheaper or w/in range of #fossilfuels. https://t.co/d1WSxto1JX
Ensuring affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern #energy for all by 2030 remains possible, joint #SDG7 report by @IRENA, @IEA, @UNStats, @WorldBank and @WHO says. But more needs to be done, particularly to reach the world’s poorest populations https://t.co/rBUTqA4xRp
Due to dramatically falling technology costs, renewables are quickly becoming the most cost-effective source of new power generation in much of the world. Why climate-safe energy competes on cost alone, read @IRENA’s brief https://t.co/vFAH0A782L
In 2016 alone, 7.6 terawatt hours of clean energy were wasted due to the lack of energy storage. That is about $1 billion worth of energy and enough energy to power 760,000 homes. (https://t.co/lOZIxRNhuX) #mondayfact#renewableenergy#sustainability#facts
#Solar & #wind energy are helping the world?s efforts to fight against #climatechange. Batteries can help store that energy. So why don?t we use them widely? Join us at #Innovate4Climate, June 4-7: https://t.co/4tzMGmcOZP
This month, Ministers from over 25 countries will gather in #Vancouver to accelerate progress towards a clean energy future, at #CEMMI2019 — @IRENA will be there helping to drive the #energytransition further w/ #renewables https://t.co/qSYIMmLJJG
Looking forward to supporting such a great event on our home turf! Our very own @SebastianAlami5 will be judging and speaking at the event. See you all there! #Hackathon#UWaterloo#energy
We've partnered with @beicouncil, @GitHub and @opg to bring over $1000 in prizes to this event!
There will also be exciting workshops from @uwblueprint , @FossilFreeUW, @uwcampuscompost and @PhosphoPower.
