Q: Hi 5i,

I see in a recent Canadian Press article that Canada will need to build more green electricity generation and transmission to support the future net-zero emissions economy.

Are there any companies in 1). generation (nothing nuclear please) or 2). transmission related to this that would be good investments?

We already own most of the green utilities such as BEP, AQN, INE, BLX, NPI, NEE as well as other non-utilities such as HPS-A, PWR, ENPH.

Also, with regards to others countries also moving towards electrification, are there other companies outside of Canada that you would recommend?

Thank you 5i!

Q: It seems the world’s electrical grid is going to look a lot different in the future. All the talk is around digitization and decentralization, whereby DER’s (distributed energy resources) will add supply back into the grid (solar panels, generators, even EV’s) and the local utility will also be able to reduce demand remotely by adjusting your a/c, hot water tank etc. all enabled by smart meters/networks driven by the technology of the internet of things and AI. My question is do you have an idea who the capital light kind of tech companies are that are going to provide the services to all the Utilities out there to make this happen? It is already happening in few places on a small scale, but the addressable market going forward is mind boggling. I guess I would much sooner invest in the tech than the guys digging lithium out of the ground! Any info appreciated, thanks.

Q: There are many small cap (and some larger cap) companies looking into new technologies for energy storage systems. As innovation in this area would appear to be necessary with most “green” energy solutions to our current climate problems, have any of these come to your attention as worthy of speculative investments?
A couple of recommendations for further research would be appreciated.
Thanks, Len

Q: SEDG is down a lot. ENPH is holding up. Could you provide your thoughts on what's happened here and briefly compare with your preference, all things considered.

ENPH seems to be the leader in the space. Do feel it will continue to outperform or that SEDG could catch up? Leader vs laggard?

thanks, M

Q: I feel that the future will usher in an era where good investments will be found in the renewable energy area. Just wondering if you agree. If so, I would appreciate it if you would rank order your 6 favorite investments in this sector. I'm interested in both Canadian and America companies and looking mostly for capital appreciation. (some dividends would also be appreciated).
