We help Manitoba First Nations and Métis communities turn clean energy, Indigenous-owned wind, and economic priorities into funded, investment-grade projects, and carry them through to community ownership.
Manitoba sits in the same federal region we work in every day, served by PrairiesCan, the regional development agency behind much of our funding work in Alberta and Saskatchewan. The funding and utility context carries straight across the border, which means there is no learning curve for us in Manitoba.
And the timing is rare. Through its Affordable Energy Plan, Manitoba Hydro is procuring Indigenous majority-owned wind generation, a once-in-a-generation chance for Nations to own real energy infrastructure, backed by the Manitoba Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program to finance community equity. Capturing it takes exactly what we do: community ownership structuring, a credible capital stack, and a business case that stands up. Every engagement is governed by OCAP® principles, so data, decisions, and ownership stay with the community.
What we bring. Our delivered track record is next door in Alberta and Saskatchewan, including a precedent-setting utility franchise waiver, a hybrid community microgrid taken from feasibility through engineering, and Canada's first Indigenous CanExport grant. The same federal programs, regional agency, and engineering discipline apply directly in Manitoba.
Investment-grade feasibility and business cases tuned to Manitoba Hydro's procurement and the province's programs.
Community ownership structures and a capital stack that uses the Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program and federal funding.
Procurement, project management, and training that ends with the community owning and operating the asset.
Considerably. Manitoba shares our federal regional development agency, PrairiesCan, and much of the Prairie funding and utility context we work in every day. The federal programs are identical, and the regional knowledge carries straight across.
Yes. That procurement seeks Indigenous majority-owned wind projects, and structuring community ownership, building the capital stack, and writing the business case is exactly what we do. The Manitoba Indigenous Loan Guarantee Program can help finance the community's equity.
Yes. We work with First Nations across Treaty 1 through 5 territories and with Métis communities. Every engagement is governed by OCAP® principles, so data, decisions, and ownership stay with the community.
