SolAgra Canada Inc

SolAgra Canada Inc. was founded in 2014 by owners Darren Bruins and Kurt Vouri, based on the vision and inspiration of the late Gordon Bruins who saw an opportunity to improve the utilization of land and availability of renewable energy.  SolAgra is a renewable energy developer that facilitates the production of solar energy through the use of hybrid technologies, incorporating both solar panels and natural gas.  Our vision is to be a leader in sustainable economic development in Alberta, with a series of renewable energy projects that will provide long term stable returns to investors, while generating clean and cost effective electricity for customers. Our mission is to develop and operate scalable solar energy farms on unused sections of farmland in Alberta. We are a team looking to leave a legacy and make a long lasting positive impact on the Alberta economy.  As Alberta moves toward diversifying it’s energy sources, SolAgra has a patent pending renewable solar energy solution that capitalizes on the unique advantages of southern Alberta. Our approach is to set up solar panels on land that is not usable for farming yet contains all the necessary infrastructure for a power generation facility including the flexibility to have constant natural gas back up generation.  This idea can be credited to the late Gordon Bruins, who publicly stated that “irrigation and other developments have provided an overbuilt electrical infrastructure in southern Alberta which is, at best, under-utilized for 10 months of each year. Agri-business can and should leverage this to diversify revenue and reduce risk. It is ready to go.”
