This infographic provides highlights of emissions legislation across Canada. Unlike other countries, the majority of Canada’s climate change initiatives have been implemented at the provincial level.
For businesses with operations in multiple Canadian jurisdictions, it is important to closely monitor developing climate change regulations. Large greenhouse gas emitters, such as oil sands producers, mine operators, LNG exporters and coal producers, will be challenged to find the most efficient and cost-effective ways to comply with the diverse and ever-evolving regulations.
For some, these regulations also present significant opportunities for the market-supported development of renewable power production, cogeneration facilities and operational efficiency measures.

OECD Green Talks Webinar: Carbon Pricing Trends - Measuring the MomentumOECDtax
Decarbonisation keeps climate change in check and contributes to cleaner air and water. Carbon pricing is a cost-effective means of reducing CO2 emissions, but countries are still not using this tool to its full potential to curb climate change. xperts from the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration presented the key findings from their report on Effective Carbon Rates, which measures pricing of CO2-emissions from energy use in 42 OECD and G20 countries, covering 80% of world emissions, and provided a first appreciation of countries’ progress since 2012.
Our latest Point of View report explores when grid parity for solar and wind might happen and what the implications could be. Grid parity occurs where emerging technologies such as wind and solar produce electricity at the same levelised cost as buying power from the grid.
It has long been considered the ‘holy grail’ for renewables as it will usher in a new era of unsubsidised renewables where market forces, not subsidies, would drive large scale deployment. The revenues of any investment now undertaken with a defined economic life (e.g. 30 year) will be affected by the build of unsubsidised renewables (as typical subsidy regimes are 10-20 years in duration).
As a result, investors must ensure their revenue projections post-subsidy period take into account the impact of increasing amounts of competing (unsubsidised) renewables – which will act to lower their capture prices and revenue post-subsidy. If they don’t take this into account, they risk overestimating the long-term profitability of projects built at the moment.
With a focus on Europe, the analysis has been conducted by Poyry’s state-of-the-art electricity model BID3. The report defines grid parity, explores where and when it might happen first and the implication of it being reached.
On 15 October 2019, Jonas Teusch (OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration) discussed the key findings from the OECD publication, Taxing Energy Use 2019, which presents new and original data on energy and carbon taxes in OECD and G20 countries, and in international aviation and maritime transport.
Global energy consumption rose strongly in 2018 along with energy-related CO2 emissions, reaching a new all-time high. This is disconcerting, as meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement will require deep cuts in emissions. Taxing polluting sources of energy is an effective way to curb emissions that harm the planet and human health. Where do countries stand in deploying energy and carbon taxes to reach environmental and climate goals? How can governments step up efforts?
This is a program presented to Jefferson Transitional Programs. This program was designed to instill a sense of self-empowerment, motivation, belief in their "inner powers."
As triad avoidance becomes more popular and the market dynamics more complicated, the value of suppliers warninghs reduces. This can be addressed with active management using automated demand side reduction.

Germany is Europe’s biggest energy consumer. As a large and industrial country with moderate natural endowments, it sets an example of what can be done with a progressive energy policy. Germany leads the charge on renewables, has an ambitious energy efficiency policy, is committed to phasing out nuclear power generation and uses ETS revenues fully for the fight against climate change. However, the future of the German energy transition is rather uncertain. Are energy prices sustainable with the current high taxation rates? How to expand the high-voltage grid to integrate wind generation from the North? What will be the future role of coal and gas? This webinar presentation reviews the most important energy statistics for Germany, focussed on a few highlights of its energy policy and concludes with a series of open discussion points.

Meeting the Challenge: Maintaining System Reliability While Meeting Both Economic System Performance and Governmental Policy Needs - Presentation delivered by Mike Henderson, Director, Regional Planning and Coordination, ISO New England at the Transmission & Distribution Summit 2014 Nov 2-4 Red Rock, Las Vegas
In this session we will look at some of the policy options for tackling climate change with the long term aim of de-carbonisation
In 2015, the earth’s surface temperature was around 0.9 Celsius degrees warmer than the 20th century average
Many economists recommend applying the polluter pays principle and placing a price on carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. This can be implemented either through a carbon tax (known as a price instrument) or a cap-and-trade scheme (a so-called quantity instrument).
Let’s tackle the myths about all the components contained within supplier’s public lighting invoices.
Many within the unmetered supplies world are unsure what elements are contained within supplier’s invoices; and who gets what of their respective charges?
So let’s break down every aspect of a council’s public lighting & highways invoice.
To transparently discuss every line, every charge, any hidden charges and where the various payments go?
Also examine how the power gets to a typical 70 watt SON lamp on a residential street. The journey from the power station via a 400kV grid to the single phase exit point for the lamp.
This journey includes aspects of the national grid company, the Grid Supply Point (GSP) and the Distribution Network Operator (DNO). All these routes attract charges and losses (loss factors) for which the customer will ultimately pay.
So the presentation and workshop will open every box – from load factor, to billing at meter and billing at grid supply point; with an explanation.
Also tackle the complex DNO’s DUoS HH charges with reference to black, yellow and green charging periods.
This should result in ILP members having a clear understanding of energy accounts, and being able to manage expected consumption.
Also to suggest how the latest technology, such as CMS, can be realised through half hourly dynamic equivalent pseudo metering.
This brings in the perennial question – what are the differences between half hourly and non-half hourly trading for unmetered supplies?
It is envisaged that there will be plenty of opportunity for audience interaction to ask detailed and probing questions – these will be discussed and answered!
The presentation will almost conclude with the details of the next financial impact that councils will be faced with – electrical market reform – and when that will happen?
To end with the latest Energy saving UMS techniques and initiatives and how these can be made into tangible benefits on your bills!

While UK met its 2020 interim target, there is some doubt regarding whether it will meet the overall 2020 target of 15% of energy consumption from renewables. For the time being it seems that the UK will have to make arrangements to count renewable energy produced and used in other member states to achieve its targets. Additionally, recent government decision to remove preliminary accreditation from the Feed-in-tariff, rejection of several renewable projects and Austrian legal action against development of the Hinkley Point nuclear power plant will have an effect on the countries energy future.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
