Members of Canada’s Electrical Industry Among Our Greenest Employers
Now entering its 9th year, Canada's Greenest Employers is an editorial competition organized by the Canada's Top 100 Employers project. This special designation recognizes the employers that lead the nation in creating a culture of environmental awareness in their organizations. These employers have developed exceptional earth-friendly initiatives — and are attracting people to their organizations because of their environmental leadership.
"Building environmental awareness improves the culture of an organization far beyond the confines of the 'green' debate," says Richard Yerema, Managing Editor at the Canada's Top 100 Employers project at Mediacorp Canada Inc., which organizes the competition. "Creating a culture of sustainability attracts people to the organization who are interested in new approaches to problems."
The winners of this year's competition offer a catalogue of best practices for any organization interested in making environmental values central to their culture.
Electrical industry members include the following:
BC Hydro
Hydro Ottawa Limited
Manitoba Hydro
PowerStream, Inc.
Siemens Canada Limited

Alta Energy has completed the installation of solar power systems at 14 campuses across California’s Poway Unified School District (PUSD). Alta Energy installed a total of 632 kilowatts (kW) on 65 of PUSD’s standard 24 by 40 feet relocatable, portable classrooms. Financed through a power purchase agreement (PPA) with no out-of-pocket costs to the district, the project reduces PUSD’s electricity expenses by nearly 15 percent and will save the district $250,000 per year.
