Solar | Community project we're supporting

Partner: Ottawa River Runners

Water power meets solar power at the clubhouse of the Ottawa River Runners Whitewater Club in Ottawa, Ontario. The clubhouse is home to a 1.04 kW rooftop solar installation funded in part by the bullfrogpowered community. Coupled with a battery back-up, the project enables the clubhouse to run on solar power, eliminating the need for a diesel generator.

The Ottawa River Runners Whitewater Club is an organization dedicated to whitewater paddling, with programs ranging from introductory youth camps to coaching for current and future National team members and Olympians.

About our community projects

Activists and organizers across the country are working to transition their communities away from fossil fuels. We created our community-based green energy projects grant to provide critical funding for these local efforts.

All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
