Automotive Parts Manufacturers’ Association (APMA) partner with Northland Power Inc. and Arise-Ledcor Renew to bring rooftop solar power installations to Ontario’s automotive industry.
Toronto, Ontario, Canada – October 27, 2010 – APMA announced today partnerships with Northland Power Inc. and Arise-Ledcor Renew to bring rooftop solar power installations to the automotive industry in Ontario.
The Ontario feed-in-tariff or FIT program offers long term stable pricing for energy generated by renewable energy sources, such as biomass, landfill gas, wind, water power, and solar photovoltaic (PV). The program is designed to reduce Ontario’s dependence on fossil fuel based energy and accelerate investment in renewable energy; helping to position it as a leader in North America.
APMA recognizes the financial and environmental benefit that this program offers the industry and, as a result, has opted to partner with two leaders in the solar PV field, Northland Power Inc. and Arise-Ledcor Renew. These partnerships will allow for delivery of the program while significantly reducing the associated risks and efforts for automotive suppliers.
"The last two years have been difficult for the automotive sector in Ontario. This program will help contribute to the bottom line of companies in Ontario’s automotive parts sector as well as help improve their environmental performance. Strong environmental commitment is of high importance to our OEM customers. We are pleased to be working with Northland Power and Arise-Ledcor Renew, two reputable renewable energy developers" said Steve Rodgers, President, APMA.
With more than 400 automotive manufacturing facilities in Ontario, many of which are strong candidates for rooftop installations, this partnership enables Ontario’s auto sector to contribute to the FIT program and allows APMA to take a leadership position with credibility in the renewable energy field.
"This alliance with APMA fits well with our focus on renewable energy and our expertise in solar development," said John Brace, CEO of Northland. "We look forward to contributing to the future success of APMA and its member companies."
“As the rooftop solar industry evolves in Ontario it is becoming clear that the viability of rooftop solar is equally dependent on building construction related issues as it is on good solar design and installation knowledge. The Arise–Ledcor Renew partnership brings unparalleled experience to the table to deliver a comprehensive solar solution to APMA members.” said Jonathan Westeinde, Vice President, Ledcor Renew.
