Our Philosophy
BluEarth believes deeply in developing renewable energy projects in partnership with Indigenous Peoples in a way that balances social value, environmental protection, and the principles of shared revenue. We have great respect for the traditions and knowledge of Indigenous Peoples, as well as the value their involvement adds to projects.

Bow Lake Wind Facility
Bow Lake is an excellent example in support of our purpose – extraordinary people coming together with the power to change the future. During project development, the Batchewana First Nation of Objibways expressed interest to participate as a partner. In 2013, we announced our partnership and formed the Nodin Kitagan Limited Partnerships. At the time of commissioning in 2015, this project set the precedent as one of the largest economic partnerships between a First Nation and a wind energy developer in Canada. During project development, the Batchewana First Nation of Objibways expressed interest to participate as a partner. In 2013, we announced our partnership and formed the Nodin Kitagan Limited Partnerships.
In September 2024, the Batchewana First Nation acquired 100% ownership in the Bow Lake Wind Facility, and BluEarth and its affiliates continue to oversee the operation of the Facility. Batchewana’s expanded ownership in the Bow Lake Wind Facility complements their broader investment focus on energy resources within their traditional territory.
