Atlantic Canada's position as a leader in clean technology solutions is a significant competitive advantage for businesses and key industries. The Government of Canada is helping The Smart Energy Company (TSEC) seize opportunities to sell its innovative micro solar farm product to farms in Ontario and internationally.
Today, Wayne Long, Member of Parliament for Saint John - Rothesay, announced an investment of $500,000 in TSEC through ACOA's Regional Economic Growth through Innovation (REGI) program to help with these marketing efforts. The announcement was made on behalf of the Honourable Gudie Hutchings, Minister of Rural Economic Development and Minister responsible for ACOA, during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at Rothiemay Farms, a new Smart Energy client.
The funding will support marketing activities to promote the company's micro solar farm and battery solutions, which have been specifically designed to withstand harsh winter climates. Overall, the project will help TSEC reach new markets in Ontario in 2024 and expand into United States markets in 2025.
Today's announcement highlights how the Government of Canada is contributing to Atlantic Canada's momentum by strengthening communities, creating new opportunities, and setting the stage for a strong, sustainable future.
