It was a pleasure to meet with Premier Doug Ford and #Energy and #Electrification Minister Stephen Lecce to discuss #Ontario's economic opportunities and the critical role of energy in the province’s future. As the Minister mentioned, Ontario will need to double its supply of electricity in the next 10 years. This is no easy task! I believe strongly that #agrivoltaics - new(ish) and fair approach to solar—should play a significant role in that strategy. First Green Energy Ltd, along with Agrivoltaics Canada, remains committed to sharing the benefits of farm-first solar solutions with policymakers across sectors, including Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness | Agriculture, Alimentation et Agroentreprise, Energy and Electrification | Énergie et de l’Électrification, Municipal Affairs and Housing / Affaires municipales et Logement, and the Ontario Ministry of Rural Affairs/Ministère des Affaires rurales de l'Ontario. Together, we’re advancing renewable energy and sustainable farming practices across Ontario. 🌱⚡ #Ontario #onpoli #Agrivoltaics #Sustainability Patrick Gossage Justin Woodward Good Energy Partners Ontario Federation of Agriculture Ontario Sheep Farmers

Thank you to Canada's National Observer for reaching out to First Green Energy Ltd. and covering this critical topic at the intersection of energy and land use. Solar and agriculture can not only coexist but thrive together. Ontario's agricultural history is deeply rooted in energy innovation—from early wood, biomass, and windmills, to pioneering ethanol production in the 1970s, biodiesel in the 1990s, and embracing solar in the 2000s. Today, many farms, including those supporting Ontario’s grazing livestock, are at the forefront of this evolution. While there are legitimate concerns to address, and penalties for non-compliance should be enforced, Agrivoltaics Canada is proving its value both in Ontario and globally. We believe it’s time to forge a new path where solar and agriculture, through agrivoltaics, play a pivotal role in the energy transition. #Agrivoltaics #RenewableEnergy #SolarFarms #OntarioAgriculture #EnergyTransition #SustainableFarming #onpoli #SolarGrazing Free Appropriate Sustainability Technology (FAST) Research Group Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness | Agriculture, Alimentation et Agroentreprise Energy and Electrification | Énergie et de l’Électrification Good Energy Partners Patrick Gossage Joshua Pearce

Thanks to VCT Group on the great wor from start to finish! First Green Energy Ltd was hired by Islington Chrysler FIAT to support their ambitions to lead the way on meeting the Stellantis call for Canadian dealerships to ready themselves and bolster their service capabilities for the coming EV fleet. Mission Accomplished! Also as a former employee of, and continued loyal customer of Islington for the last 20 years, if looking for a Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler or FIAT, there’s no better place to go for a comfortable purchase experience.
