Oshawa is the eastern gateway to the GTA and a provincially recognized urban growth centre. Oshawa won gold at the UN-endorsed Liveable Communities Awards for being one of the world’s top sustainable communities. Oshawa’s first-class education facilities at Durham College and UOIT support Durham Region’s energy sector.
The DSEA is one of the province's most prominent energy stakeholders. While it has a GTA-wide membership, this organization can trace its genesis to Pickering. It was in Pickering that an embryonic idea of an energy centre of excellence was conceived, took root and flourished.
Pickering's cluster of EN-3 companies (ENergy, ENvironmental, and ENgineering) comprises the nucleus of the DSEA. With 45,000 new jobs slated for Pickering, the City looks forward to its continued partnership with the DSEA so that both may strengthen their respective presence and profile in Canada's dynamic and rapidly evolving energy landscape.
At Durham College, the student experience comes first, an approach we’ve taken for more than 40 years. Through a vast range of market-driven programs taught by exceptional professors with real-world experience, students develop the skills required to meet the ever-changing needs of employers.
As part of that commitment to employers, Durham College is working to address the growing need for highly skilled energy professionals. That’s why we recently added two new energy programs and why a 40,000-square-foot expansion of our Whitby campus will be energy-neutral and a living laboratory for new technologies and energy-sector education.

Just 40km from the eastern border of Toronto, Clarington is home to the Darlington Nuclear Station, energizing up to 20% of Ontario’s current electricity needs and preparing for proposed nuclear expansion of 2 reactors.
The opening of a 2 MW solar farm and the Centre of Renewable Energy are great examples of our commitment to energy opportunities
Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is an Ontario-based electricity generation company whose principal business is the generation and sale of electricity in Ontario. We are committed to operating in a safe, open and environmentally-responsible manner.As one of the largest producers of electricity in North America, OPG operates 65 hydroelectric, 5 fossil and 3 nuclear stations (Pickering A, Pickering B and Darlington Nuclear, located in Durham Region) producing more than 21,000 megawatts of electricity. In fact, OPG owns one of the most diversified, low cost and low emission portfolios. Our commitment is to continually improve the efficiency of our generating stations and we are dedicated to minimizing our environmental footprint.
As “Ontario’s Energy Capital,” Durham Region produces 30% of Ontario’s energy generation needs. Durham is home to numerous companies that produce and distribute power; develop new and renewable energy technologies, alternative fuels, manufacturing components and systems; and provide service support to the industry. The full spectrum of the energy cycle is represented here. With a skilled labour force, transmission capacity and infrastructure, research and development opportunities, and training and educational facilities such as Durham College and the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Durham Region is truly one of the major energy cluster in North America today.
Formed in the aftermath of Hurricane Hazel, TRCA has a strong history in watershed management and leadership in applying sustainability practices. Today, we own more than 40,000 acres of land in the Toronto region, employ more than 400 full time employees and coordinate more than 3,000 volunteers each year. With decades of practical experience in protecting our environment, educating young people, and engaging communities, TRCA works with governments, businesses, and individuals to build a greener, cleaner healthier place to live.
Our Vision
The quality of life on Earth is being determined in the rapidly expanding city regions. Our vision is for a new kind of community, The Living City, where human settlement can flourish forever as part of nature's beauty and diversity.
Our expertise
TRCA offers knowledge and experience to help our partners contribute to a healthy city region. This includes ecology and the study of water quality, natural habitats, plants, animals and more to help us identify environmental needs, set targets, and restore natural areas; sustainable community development to advise partners about land use, development proposals and construction, and environmental education to help students and community members appreciate their local environment and learn to look after it.
The University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) has grown from 900 students in 2003 to over 6000 this fall. Approximately 300 graduate students are enrolled in over a dozen graduate programs at the Masters and PhD level. UOIT is one of Canada’s fastest growing research-intensive universities, ranking in the top 50 in 2007 in terms of research dollars per faculty member, according to a Re$earch Money survey by the Impact Group (http://www.researchinfosource.com).
UOIT’s Strategic Research Plan encompasses five themes, including two directly related to this conference: Sustainable Energy, and Automotive, Materials and Manufacturing. UOIT sustainable energy research includes electric vehicles, biofuels, fuel-cell materials and vehicle applications, battery technologies, and thermochemical hydrogen production. This research theme is supported by graduate and undergraduate programs emphasizing these areas, including undergraduate programs in Energy Systems Engineering, an Energy and the Environment specialization within Physics, an Energy Engineering specialization within Mechanical Engineering, and Nuclear Engineering. The Automotive, Materials and Manufacturing theme includes research in traffic flow analysis, hybrid and alternative fuel vehicle technology, aerodynamics and design, and vehicle dynamics and performance. This theme is supported by graduate and undergraduate programs in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Materials Science.
