Electricity Transformation Canada 2026

How it compares

For a company entering the Canadian renewables market, ETC offers a concentrated route to the developers, contractors and policy conversations around wind, solar and storage. Its value lies in that combination: components and systems on the floor, with Canadian project and market questions in the conference. A supplier whose product depends on a local development partner or utility relationship has a clear reason to prioritize Toronto.

RE+ reaches a broader international supplier market and a US business audience. The Las Vegas gathering suits teams comparing a wider range of clean-energy products or building North American distribution. It spans solar, storage, microgrids, hydrogen and electric mobility. ETC is the more focused choice when the commercial question is how to participate in Canadian projects and the partners needed to deliver them.

Canadian Hydrogen Convention in Edmonton offers greater depth for hydrogen production, transport and deployment, with strategic and technical conference programs. That is the better specialist trip for a hydrogen-led business. ETC puts hydrogen alongside the generation, storage and grid systems it must interact with, so it serves teams whose opportunities cross those boundaries.

ETC is the right trip for suppliers and project teams whose next renewable power contract depends on understanding the Canadian market.

Who exhibits

The mix runs from project delivery to electrical components. Bird Construction and WSP Canada put construction and engineering beside suppliers such as TE Connectivity and CAB Solar. Discover Energy Systems adds storage to that conversation, while CanREA itself has a presence on the floor. This is a useful setting for tracing a project’s supply chain across design, installation and equipment, alongside comparisons of solar technology.

Electricity Transformation Canada 2026

ETC 2026 adds a focused utility conversation through SGIN’s Modern Grid Innovation Exchange, pairing utility-led discussion with curated vendor presentations. The exhibition retains dedicated storage, hydrogen, Indigenous business and start-up pavilions. The offsite reception moves from last year’s Hockey Hall of Fame setting to Pocket Planet Canada, the miniature landscape attraction formerly known as Little Canada. Together, those elements make the trip as much about project relationships and grid questions as equipment sourcing.

• For storage or hydrogen work, start with the dedicated business pavilions; the Indigenous Business Pavilion adds a different set of project partners to that search.
• Use the Poster Reception in Halls B-C to discuss research with its presenters, then continue supplier conversations at the adjoining expo happy hour.
• Utility teams should consider SGIN’s Modern Grid Innovation Exchange: its utility-led benchmarking discussion and curated vendor exchanges address grid challenges in a smaller setting.

Exhibiting

Space is allocated first come, first served, with separate CanREA member and non-member rates. The basic package includes conference and expo passes, directory listings, curtains and a booth sign; carpet, insurance, furniture and electricity require separate attention. Storage and hydrogen suppliers can ask about the pavilion discount, while the Start-up Pavilion has specific staffing, funding and revenue eligibility tests.
