Renewable energy is increasingly being seen as a solution that ensures Canadians can maintain their lifestyle. Your project can be based on any renewable energy source – sun, wind, water or bioenergy. Not only can you meet your own home-energy needs, but you can also generate revenue by selling your green energy back to the grid at a price that’s guaranteed for a set number of years.
