INVEST TODAY in community-owned renewable energy! www.orec.ca/invest-today/
About us
OREC members are building community-owned renewable energy, profitably. Residents across Eastern Ontario have invested more than $11 million through OREC in 22 solar projects, 2 wind turbines and 5 energy efficiency projects. Founded in 2010, the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op (OREC) is a for profit cooperative that facilitates community ownership of local renewable power production. Profits generated through the sale of electricity to the Ontario power grid or our project partners are distributed back to investors in annual dividends. Purchase a membership share anytime and be the first to invest when securities become available - an annual opportunity. Historically, members have been able to purchase 5-year investment notes or 20-year preference shares and earn a return between 3-4%. Shares are RRSP & TFSA eligible. OREC's projects support local industry and job-creation, expedite Ontario's transition to a clean energy economy, and increase self-sufficiency and resiliency of local communities. Learn more about the Co-op here: orec.ca

Clean, quickly deployed, community owned solar! What are we waiting for, #Ontario ? We at #OREC are ready! #renewables #communitysolar
HUGE NEWS: Long awaited #CommunitySolar program launched today in #NovaScotia. 🌞 Open to non-profits, co-operatives, First Nations communities, municipalities, businesses, universities and colleges 🌞 #SolarGarden projects up to 10MW 🌞 $5.2M to help with capital costs See more info here: https://lnkd.in/egcE5qxa BIG UPS to the team at Natural Resources and Renewables for all their work on this program.
