Ensuring our future

Sustainability is a core value at Northland Power. All of our development efforts and operational practices focus on ensuring Northland will continue to provide long-term benefits to our customers, investors, employees, communities and partners.

For Northland Power, sustainability has many dimensions:

Financial: As an investment, Northland Power has paid stable monthly dividends and outperformed the TSX since our 1997 IPO. To maintain this record, we pursue only opportunities that can meet strict ROI thresholds, based on long-term purchase contracts with creditworthy off-takers.

Operational: We maintain and reinvest constantly in our operating assets for maximum efficiency and economic life. As a side benefit, we regularly earn contract bonuses for performance.

Health and safety: Ensuring our people have the knowledge, tools and time to work safely is Northland’s first priority. Our culture of safety, respect and independence helps to ensure we attract and retain the people we need to perform.

Environmental: Northland Power was founded on the belief that clean and green energy is vital to the future of our planet. It’s all we produce. Our construction and operational practices are engineered to meet the highest environmental standards, even in jurisdictions where lower standards are legislated.

Community: Northland makes ongoing investments in its host communities to ensure they remain vibrant, healthy places to live.

Partners: By demonstrating excellence and a consistent ability to be firm but fair, Northland has attracted world-class allies—including Kiewit Corporation, General Electric, CIBC and Loblaw Companies—that can partner for sustained success.
