Working with communities across Canada
OUR TEAM
The Lahave Renewables team have been active in renewable energy development since 2002, working on wind and marine renewable energy developments in Atlantic Canada and across North America.
We are based in Halifax, working to develop the excellent renewable energy resources across Canada for the benefit of local landowners and communities and bringing price stability to electricity consumers.
HOW WE WORK
We work with local, national and international partners, using their experience to assist local communities to develop new opportunities for renewable energy development.
We are always keen to hear about new projects – please contact Keith Towse for more information as to how we can assist you to bring your project from just a concept to completion, on time and on budget.
We have over a decade of experience in working in partnership with First Nations communities, in particular with the Mi’kmaw in Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and New Brunswick, Innu in Labrador, Ojibway in Ontario and Dene in Saskatchewan.
We have assisted them in achieving their goal of becoming owners of renewable energy projects and to build the capacity of the communities we work with.
