Optimizing your customer experience 

As we approach summer, we are experiencing exciting times that call for big and bold upgrades. One of our larger focuses this season is an initiative we fondly refer to as, “Project Darwin”.  

We chose the name “Darwin”, after the famous British naturalist who popularized the theory of evolution and natural selection. For us it was a fitting choice for an initiative that represents our Company’s own internal evolution and the opportunity for us to better serve as your Trusted Partner in Power, in 2022 and beyond. I look forward to being a part of the rollout of this system enhancement, beginning with our U.S. customers and vendors (see more below), as we strive to continuously optimize your Spark Power Customer Experience.

Thank you for choosing Spark Power and I hope you enjoy this latest issue of Off the Wire, where we highlight some of our latest project milestones from the last few months!

GO GREEN!

Supporting a 130MW wind project in AB!

Bullfrog Power, Spark's sustainability division, was thrilled to sign a renewable energy Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA") alongside Shopify and RBC. 

The companies signed the PPA with Berkshire Hathaway Energy Canada to offtake approximately 30,000 MWh each per year, equivalent to the power used by about 3,800 homes! 

Did you know?

Companies use PPAs to facilitate renewable growth and obtain an economic supply of green energy attributes. They achieve this by providing price certainty to developers which helps them secure financing for the new wind or solar project.
