Ep 80: Dan Balaban | Greengate Power
Episode description
Dan Balaban stops by for episode 80 of the Calgary Sessions podcast, and he brings with him a wealth of experience and wisdom. As an entrepreneur for over 25 years, Dan has learned valuable lessons that he shares in this inspiring conversation. Growing up as a grandchild of Holocaust survivors, Dan felt a deep sense of responsibility to honor the memory of his family members and make a positive impact in the world. Drawing from his Jewish background, he discusses the concept of "tikkun olam," the belief that we are here to repair and leave the world better than we found it.
Dan's entrepreneurial journey has led to the development of the largest wind farm in the province and subsequently the largest wind farm in the country. Recently, his team completed a groundbreaking solar project, Traverse Solar, which spans 3300 acres and consists of 1.3 million solar panels.
