WorkCabin: Bullfrog Power launches in the Maritimes
Bullfrog Power launches in the Maritimes
HALIFAX — Bullfrog Power™, Canada’s 100 per cent green electricity provider, is now offering homes and businesses in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island a new way to take a stand for a cleaner energy future. With Bullfrog Power, Maritimers can now choose to support clean, renewable electricity rather than electricity from fossil fuel-based or nuclear generation facilities. By choosing green electricity with Bullfrog Power, homes and businesses can reduce their environmental impact, support the development of new renewable generation in Canada, and ultimately create a cleaner world for today and tomorrow.
Bullfrog Power’s electricity comes exclusively from wind and hydro facilities that have been certified as low impact by Environment Canada under its EcoLogoM program—instead of from polluting sources like coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear. In the Maritime provinces, Bullfrog Power currently sources from wind farms and low-impact hydro facilities in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Bullfrog’s Maritime generators inject renewable electricity onto the regional grid to match the amount of power used by Bullfrog Power’s customers.
Across Canada, thousands of homes and businesses have made the decision to become bullfrogpowered™ and are doing their part to address climate change and air pollution. They are also advancing the development of new renewable power in Canada, as Bullfrog Power uses the collective demand of its customers to cause new renewable facilities to be built. Several new wind turbines have been commissioned in the country as a result of the support of bullfrogpowered Canadians.
“We are pleased to provide Maritime homes and businesses with a clean, renewable electricity choice,” said Tom Heintzman, President, Bullfrog Power. “Choosing green electricity with Bullfrog Power sends a powerful message to government about the importance of renewable power, helping to influence energy policy on which the growth of clean energy depends. Through the support of our customers, our goal is to advance new wind power in the Maritimes—just as we have done in other provinces.”
Several businesses have already bullfrogpowered some or all of their operations in the Maritimes, including BMO Financial Group, Ivanhoe Cambridge, RBC Royal Bank, Mountain Equipment Co-op, Just Us! Coffee Roasters Co-op, The Wooden Monkey, Moksha Yoga, Impact Communications, Lara Ryan Consulting, Breathing Space Yoga Studios, Plovers Environmental Store, Aplaydia Indoor Playground, The Trail Shop and CarShareHFX.
BMO Financial Group has made a significant commitment, expanding its partnership with Bullfrog Power to include all its facilities in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. This commitment builds on its support of clean, renewable energy for BMO locations in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia where a total of 78 branches have been bullfrogpowered to date.
"Customers expect us to show leadership when it comes to the environment,” said Steve Murphy, Senior Vice-President, Atlantic Division, BMO Bank of Montreal. “This means that we must adopt and integrate environmental best practices into everything we do. With this purchase, we are reaffirming our commitment to minimizing the impact of our operations on the environment—here in Atlantic Canada and everywhere else we do business.”
Maritime households have also begun to sign on with Bullfrog.
Prominent environmental non-government organizations (ENGOs) and non-profits in the Maritimes, including WWF-Canada, Ecology Action Centre, Clean Nova Scotia and the Canada Green Building Council Atlantic Chapter have also bullfrogpowered their premises to show their support for advancing renewable energy. In addition, Bullfrog Power partners with these organizations to educate Canadians on the environmental and health benefits of clean, renewable power.
Bullfrog Power’s Maritimes launch is its second expansion in 2009, following a launch in British Columbia in March. Bullfrog Power is now available in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
