METLEN Energy & Metals in Canada

In April 2023, METLEN Energy & Metals made a significant entry into the Canadian market by acquiring a 1.4 GW portfolio of solar projects in Alberta from Westbridge Renewables. This strategic investment also included the establishment of our North American headquarters in downtown Calgary, reinforcing our long-term commitment to the region.

The portfolio comprises five large-scale solar projects across southern and southeastern Alberta, representing a total estimated capital investment of CAD $2.2 billion (excluding Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) equipment). Once operational, these projects will generate approximately 2.1 TWh of renewable electricity annually—enough to power 200,000 Canadian homes while reducing CO₂ emissions by 1.5 million tons per year.

Beyond environmental impact, METLEN’s investment will drive local economic growth, creating approximately 1,560 temporary jobs during construction and 115 permanent positions throughout development and operations.

Advancing Renewable Energy Through PPA Partnerships

METLEN Energy & Metals is actively seeking Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) partnerships with companies looking to achieve their sustainability and carbon reduction goals through renewable energy procurement. As businesses increasingly prioritize clean energy solutions, PPAs provide a proven strategy for securing long-term access to renewable power at competitive rates.

One of the key opportunities we’re focusing on is the virtual Power Purchase Agreement (vPPA), a contract that allows companies to purchase renewable energy indirectly through the grid. By entering into a vPPA, companies can:

• Lock in stable energy pricing to mitigate cost volatility.
• Reduce their carbon footprint while advancing corporate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments.
• Enhance sustainability credentials and demonstrate leadership in climate action.

At METLEN, we believe that vPPA partnerships are not just about transitioning to renewable energy but about creating long-term value by:

• Lowering operational energy costs through stable, predictable energy prices.
• Boosting sustainability credentials, demonstrating leadership in climate action.
• Meeting regulatory and investor expectations for transparency and corporate responsibility in energy use.

Through innovative partnerships, METLEN aims to help organizations accelerate the shift to clean energy and play a meaningful role in a more sustainable future.
