In this episode of Eco Echoes, Sheldon and Amer explore the alternative business model of a solar energy co-operative. They are joined by special guest Chris Caners, General Manager at SolarShare, one of Canada’s leading renewable energy co-ops.

The group discusses how the co-op structure differs from traditional corporate models, its benefits for sustainability and community engagement, and the operational mechanics of a solar energy co-op. We also examine the scalability of this model across other climate solutions and ways to promote inclusivity and equity in the renewable energy sector. 

Tune in to learn how co-op business models can drive climate objectives and foster a more interconnected world.
