Universities
In partnership with Cape Breton University, Natural Forces developed and constructed, and now owns and operates, the Gardiner Mines wind farm on Cape Breton Island. This unique partnership allows Cape Breton University to proudly hold the title of being the first University in Canada to be fully powered by renewable energy. Natural Forces also has partnerships with other post secondary institutions for projects currently under development across Canada.
Community Ownership
Our use of local investment funds allows for the democratization of renewable energy. Natural Forces' partnership with the Wind4All family of companies through the internationally recognized CEDIF program in Nova Scotia has garnered more than 900 individual investors, who in turn benefit from a long term dividend generated by clean energy. Our community fund investors can walk up and place their hand on a wind turbine and proudly say they own a piece of that project. Literally, power to the people.
Large Scale Commercial Partnerships
Natural Forces recognizes that for the energy transformation to truly happen large scale projects are required. The economies of scale and cost competitiveness nature of these projects has led us to form partnerships with large utility-scale companies. Our commercial flexibility and access to capital allow us to structure deals that are not only mutually beneficial to ourselves and our commercial partners, but also result in us delivering successful projects in the competitive jurisdictions in which we operate.
