Gridworks Energy Indigenous Solar Program

Morley Learn Solar

Gridworks Energy is 100% Indigenous owned and operated with over 20 years of industry experience. We have provided solar training as well as, design and installation services for over 75 indigenous communities and organizations across Canada and counting for more than 20 years.

We do this by engaging and consulting with each community for their specific needs. We work with, not for, your community to find the exact solution your community desires. We provide meaningful training and employment opportunities for your community members for each project through our CSA (Canadian Standards Association) recognized training program and hire those trained members for the installation of their projects.

Gridworks affirms the 92nd call to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission to adopt the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

 

Empowering Indigenous Communities Through Solar Power

Gridworks commits to providing meaningful consultation, building respectful relationships; While obtaining the free, prior, and informed consent of Indigenous peoples before proceeding with business development.

By training and hiring members of each community for each project we design and install, we commit to providing Indigenous peoples with access to equitable access to jobs, training, and educational opportunities. Furthermore, we ensure that education is provided for our staff on the history of Indigenous peoples.
