Federal investment helps design cleaner energy systems in Atlantic Canada
October 3, 2024 Lennox Island, Prince Edward Island Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA)
Every day, Indigenous communities and their members across Atlantic Canada are leading the way toward sustainability and opportunity. In Epekwitk, Prince Edward Island, a collaborative approach between business, academia and the community is helping to drive innovation in renewable energy. The Government of Canada is working with Indigenous communities and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to maximize their assets, capitalize on economic opportunities, and contribute to the prosperity of Indigenous peoples across Atlantic Canada.
Supporting Indigenous Business Leaders
Today, Bobby Morrissey, Member of Parliament for Egmont, announced a non-repayable contribution of $100,000 to L’nu Energy Inc. to support the purchase of equipment as the company expands its services to Indigenous communities. The investment will help the company better serve its customers from design to completion, as well as the development, management and optimization of renewable energy microgrid systems.
The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA.
Climate change has pushed all communities to rethink their thinking and approach to long-term growth. Today’s announcement demonstrates how the federal government continues to build on its programs to advance the transition to net-zero emissions through support for Indigenous business leaders, as well as the design of collaborative ecosystems to grow more cleantech companies.
