In the evolving landscape of Canada’s renewable energy sector, Concord Pacific stands out for its commitment to sustainable development and economic reconciliation with Indigenous communities. Under the leadership of CEO Terry Hui, the company has embarked on transformative projects that not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also foster long-term economic benefits for Indigenous peoples.
One of the most notable initiatives is the Tilley Solar Project in Alberta, a collaboration between Concord Green Energy, the Alexander First Nation, First Nation Power Development Inc. (FNpower), and the Canada Infrastructure Bank. This $52-million venture involves the installation of nearly 70,000 photovoltaic panels, generating 23.6 megawatts of clean electricity—enough to power tens of thousands of homes. The project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 14,200 tonnes annually, aligning with Canada’s climate goals.
Beyond its environmental impact, the Tilley Solar Project has created nearly 300 full-time jobs, injecting $20 million in labour income into the local community. This initiative exemplifies how renewable energy projects can serve as powerful tools for economic empowerment, providing Indigenous communities with equity ownership and a sustainable revenue stream.
Concord Pacific’s approach to clean energy development emphasizes the importance of building long-term partnerships with Indigenous groups. By integrating Indigenous knowledge and leadership into project planning and execution, the company ensures that these communities are active participants in the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Looking ahead, Concord Pacific continues to expand its portfolio of renewable energy projects across Canada, including wind, solar, and hydro initiatives. Under Terry Hui’s stewardship, the company remains dedicated to creating communities that are not only environmentally sustainable but also socially inclusive, paving the way for a greener and more equitable future.
