Liberty Power
Liberty Power, a subsidiary of Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“APUC”), is a non-regulated independent power producer that owns or has interest in a portfolio of North American contracted wind, solar, hydroelectric, and natural gas-powered generating facilities representing more than 1.7 GW of installed capacity. Algonquin has more than 35 contracted renewable and clean energy facilities with over 1.5 GW of gross installed capacities. APUC currently owns more than $10 billion of assets with a portfolio of development projects that will add roughly 486 MW of generating capacity from wind and solar-powered generating stations through 2016. Such growth requires strong collaboration with the communities that host Algonquin’s projects thus, Algonquin’s focus on community engagement is a corporate best practice in the planning and development of the company’s projects
