The Projects

Sequoia develops and operates renewable energy projects in central North America from a base in Manitoba, Canada. Our primary region of focus (Central and Western Canada and the Central, Mid-Western and Western United States) contains some of North America’s best renewable energy resources. The heartland of North America also has a deep history of strong rural communities, and is home to a vibrant base of community-focused investment capital. These are all key to fuel a renewable energy industry in the center of North America – the heartland is the home base for Sequoia developments.

Sequoia has erected several meteorological towers across our market territory and has assembled a significant compilation of wind and solar data from these facilities. Land assembly with supportive landowners, transmission & interconnection studies, and best practice environmental impact assessment accompany the conversion of this data to active renewable energy projects.

As Sequoia projects in both Canada and the United States move forward in the development cycle, public details will be found here.
