ABOUT ENERGY CANVAS
Energy Canvas helps its clients navigate the technical, financial and bureaucratic challenges that accompany renewable energy system planning and implementation.
What We Do
We are a renewable energy company and specialize in renewable energy resource development and utilization. With increased focus and desire to rely on variable renewable resources we build increased project value by:
Business and technical consulting – providing commercial advice, technological design, and support to companies, communities, NGO’s and banks. We often partner with other consultants to provide our services on projects that range in size from small commercial integration to utility scale projects.
Project Development and Asset Management – leveraging our experience in over 20 countries, we support teams throughout the whole lifecycle of an asset. Increasingly this includes the acquisition and repowering of existing wind and solar projects.
Renewable resource measurement equipment sales – we have partnered with Ammonit, a supplier and distributor of superior quality wind and solar resource measurement equipment. We have used their technology for many years and are honoured to be their Canadian distributor.
The Energy Canvas Mission
- Design, build and operate hybrid renewable energy assets and supporting technologies

- Help companies and communities maximize their return on their investments, whether they’re off grid or on grid, because of our technology and approach.
The Energy Canvas Values
We are the stewards with whom the future trusts decisions today.
We believe that climate change, environmental quality, financial risk and lifestyle are things that can dramatically be improved by using energy smarter and from renewable resources such as the sun and wind.
Our focus is renewable energy strategy, development and design so that you can continue to focus on your business while realising the opportunity that renewable energy implementation promises.
