Transforming Energy, Empowering Growth.
Strategic Solar Development for a Sustainable Future
We work across the supply chain to create energy solutions.
Our involvement spans every phase of the project lifecycle, ensuring that each initiative not only meets but exceeds industry standards.
Comprehensive Project Development
Our process begins with meticulous site selection, evaluating factors such as solar irradiance, land suitability, and proximity to existing infrastructure. We then navigate the complex landscape of permitting and regulatory approvals, ensuring compliance with all local, regional, and national requirements. Our team manages interconnection design and applications, facilitating seamless integration with the electrical grid.
Engineering Excellence and Procurement
Leveraging decades of combined experience, our engineering team designs efficient, high-performance solar installations tailored to each project’s unique characteristics. We prioritize the selection of bankable, high-quality components to maximize system reliability and longevity. Our procurement strategies focus on cost-effectiveness without compromising quality, ensuring optimal returns on investment.
Construction and Commissioning
During the construction phase, we employ rigorous project management practices to maintain tight control over quality, safety, schedules, and productivity. Our experienced construction teams work diligently to bring projects to fruition on time and within budget. Upon completion, we conduct thorough commissioning procedures to verify that all systems operate at peak efficiency.
Operations and Maintenance
Our commitment extends beyond project completion. We offer comprehensive operations and maintenance services to ensure long-term performance and asset longevity. Regular monitoring, preventive maintenance, and rapid issue resolution are integral components of our approach, providing peace of mind to our partners and stakeholders.
Specializing in Canadian Projects with First Nations as Majority Owners
A Commitment towards renewable energy and community empowerment
Our approach to project development is rooted in meaningful partnerships. First Nations communities aren’t just stakeholders in our renewable energy projects—they are active contributors to the economic and environmental milestones we achieve together. By prioritizing collaboration, we ensure that every initiative is designed to deliver tangible, long-lasting benefits for the communities we work with.
Beyond co-ownership of renewable energy assets, we offer a suite of programs that empower First Nations communities. These include advanced training programs, local employment opportunities, and access to financing options that support sustainable economic growth. Each effort aims to build capacity within communities, paving the way for self-sustained development and stronger local economies.
With a proven track record of working alongside First Nations communities, we ensure that the shift to renewable energy is both inclusive and transformative. Our approach actively supports economic reconciliation while driving the province’s environmental objectives forward. Through trusted partnerships, we deliver projects rooted in respect for the land and its people, combining world-class expertise with a steadfast commitment to sustainability and community development.
Sazul Nahuyutsa Solar Project
Capacity: 41.74 MW AC / 61.25 MW DC
Location: Central BC
Details: In collaboration with Saik’uz First Nation, who hold majority ownership
Scope: 96,000 solar panels across 200 acres
