  14. QUEST - Quality Urban Energy Systems of Tomorrow • National non-profit founded in 2007 by all levels of government, industry, academia and ENGOs. • Mobilize governments, utilities, real-estate sector, energy industry, regulators and professional services to create and implement Integrated Community Energy Solutions (ICES). • ICES are about creating smart energy communities by linking energy across land-use, buildings, transportation, water, waste and related infrastructure.

  15. QUEST Six Policy Principles It starts with sustainability • Match land use needs and mobility options (understand the energy implications) • Match energy options to local context (be aware of local options & choices) • Send clear and accurate price signals (apply full cost accounting for options) • Manage risks and be flexible (maintain technology and fuel diversity) • Emphasize performance and outcomes in policy and regulations (avoid being prescriptive) • Pursue policy and program stability (consistent and predictable decision-making environment)

  18. Challenges & Opportunities in Canada • Infrastructure Deficit • CEA - $293.8 Billion • CGA - $772.4 Million capital investment • FCM - $200 Billion
