After nearly a year, OREC is back with our latest opportunity to invest—and this one’s our biggest yet!
This raise will help fund our expansion to the solar rooftop on the Canada Science & Technology Museum right here in Ottawa. It's a milestone project for us—and for our city: likely the largest rooftop solar array in Eastern Ontario.
With a total of almost 1 MW DC of clean energy, the combined site will be one of our most impactful builds to date—it will offset an estimated 160 tonnes of GHGs per year from the Ontario grid. It also marks our fourth net metering project, helping to reduce long-term energy costs for the community and adding resilience to the grid.
And there's more: we have several exciting prospects were working hard to deliver. But we need your support to make them happen. And now, you can be part of it.
