Projects

Since 2001, the 3G Group has developed 25 wind and solar projects from Newfoundland to British Columbia.  Eight of these projects are already in operation or are approved for construction.

Solar Industry - Ontario Projects

Micro-FIT Roof Top Turnkey Projects

Ottawa Community Housing Corporation  - We are providing 10 KW MicroFIT rooftop systems on 14 community housing rooftops in 2011

City of Kingston - We are providing 10KW MicroFIT rooftop systems on 10 municipal buildings (fire halls, community resource centers, etc) for the City of Kingston in 2011.

Ottawa Co-operative Communities - we are providing 10KW MicroFIT rooftop systems on 3 co-op residences in the City of Ottawa in 2011.

 M'Chigeeng First Nation - we are  providing 10KW MicroFIT rooftop systems on 3 Band municipal buildings in 2011.  

All these projects will feature the 220 Watt CS6P panel produced by Canadian Solar Inc in its new plant in Guelph, Ontario.  It is among the most efficient in the industry. 

Commercial Rooftop Project in Ottawa

A 75KW commercial rooftop solar project is contemplated in Ottawa near to the Ottawa train station and Highway 417. The project has been accepted by the Ontario Power Authority and commercial operations are on hold pending acceptance by Hydro One of the connection application. There are connection issues governing projects of this size in Ottawa associated with the Hawthorne Rd Transmission Station, an asset operated by Hydro One.

Greely, Ontario   - 10MW

 This project is under consideration by the Ontario Power Authority and is expected to be approved once the local electricity grid has been upgraded to be able to receive power from this project.

 

Trail Road Landfill, City of Ottawa,  Ontario - 7 MW

 3G and Energy Ottawa undertook a feasibility study leading toward building a solar farm on the 44 acre Trail Road landfill site. Landfill operations were ended at this site in the mid-1990's and the City of Ottawa was searching for a solution to the brownfield status of this land .  3G Energy partnered with Energy Ottawa in 2008 and organized a feasibility study with inputs from Queens University and the Ontario Center of Excellence.  In June 2010, 3G sold its interest in the project to Energy Ottawa.  Energy Ottawa is applying for a FIT contract.
