The community's cluster of renewable energy opportunities continues ripening under the Sault Ste. Marie sun.
You can include solar panel manufacturing with already established hydroelectric, wind farm and cogeneration facilities as well as a commercial solar farm, a curbside waste to energy demonstration plant and a tire recycling facility all expecting to go operational within the next year.
Heliene Canada Inc., a joint manufacturing venture between Canadian entrepreneurs and Helios Energy of Barcelona, Spain, is the latest tool included in the city's basket of renewable energy opportunities.
Martin Pochtaruk, president of Heliene Canada, won't confirm the opportunity with local media but the joint venture launch has been trumpeted on the company website and in an interview with an on-line solar industry publication.
"I have no comment for the time being . . . There will be a joint announcement on developments in the near future," said Pochtaruk, a former senior executive with both Tenaris Algoma Tubes and Essar Steel Algoma. http://www.saultstar.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2495983
