Green Power initiative will lead to cleaner air, greater reliability
HAMILTON, ON, March 26 /CNW/ - On the eve of Earth Hour, Horizon Energy Solutions Inc. (HESI) is launching “Ontario’s Solar Sunbelt” with a strategic energy alliance and a commercial solar energy generating business.
Horizon Energy Solutions is one of Ontario’s first commercial solar energy generating enterprises, helping to create sustainable communities in Ontario’s new green economy. The new initiative takes advantage of the opportunities to generate a clean and reliable local energy supply through the Ontario Government’s Green Energy Act.
Horizon is also joining forces with two cities and two institutes of higher learning, as founding members of the Golden Horseshoe Strategic Energy Alliance. The cities of Hamilton and St. Catharines, McMaster University, and Mohawk College will collaborate to position the Golden Horseshoe as a leader in the green economy.
“This strategic powerhouse will combine the capabilities of these research and training institutions and the economic development resources of the cities to help create and attract the energy technologies and businesses of the future. Our alliance can provide the skilled workforce that this new sector will need, locally, for the benefit of all residents,” says Horizon CEO, Max Cananzi.
