Why Ortech Power
ORTECH has the experience and track record to take your project from conceptual design to operations. Over the past 10 years, our team has had numerous projects through the development process and to construction. In January of this year and after four years of planning, we commissioned the RMS Dalhousie Mountain Wind farm on time and on budget. We are eager to bring this experience to your project.

We understand that your project is at the early development stage and requires serious project management to get to construction in a short period of time. Our team can get this job done. We are based in Ontario and have a deep understanding of Ontario’s permitting and regulatory process. We also have hands-on experience in designing, connecting and constructing projects in Ontario and across Canada. ORTECH is currently a consultant, technical advisor and project manager on over 50 active wind, waterpower and solar development projects in Ontario at various stages of progress.

We have successfully completed renewable energy projects from early development to commercial operation, ranging in size from the $7 million Misema Generating Station our team built in 2004 to the $134 million RMS Dalhousie Mountain Wind Farm which our team recently commissioned in January of 2010. In 2004, our team was part of the original Joint Venture for the 199.5 MW Melancthon EcoPower Centre when the project won a power purchase agreement with the Ontario government. Our team carried out all the original land acquisition, permitting and planning for the 197.5 MW Wolfe Island Wind Farm from 2001 until it was sold in 2005. We are working on over 50 active wind, waterpower and solar development projects in Ontario at various stages of progress.

We go beyond technical project management.
While most engineering project managers focus only on technical aspects, at ORTECH we realize it takes much more to build a renewable energy project. Over the years we have worked side-by-side with legal counsel on negotiating major project contracts, strategically managed public opposition, and conducted comprehensive reviews of financial models with equity sponsors and senior debt providers. We have worked on M&A transactions related to some of the largest wind asset sales in Canada, including Mount Copper Wind Farm, Pubnico Point Wind Farm and Erie Shores Wind Farm. We were a technical advisor on the $2 billion Airtricity North America transaction. Our senior executives include former lawyers, bankers, developers and business managers. Our team members sit on many of the relevant industry committees and follow the rapidly evolving regulatory framework in a strategic manner. We bring much more than technical project management to our clients.
