In addition to being the President of renewable energy developer, VCT Group, Brian is the President of Community Energy Development Co-operative Ltd (CED Co-op), a position he has held since the founding of the organization in 2012. In this time, he has led CED Co-op through the origination and construction of a portfolio of solar projects exceeding $45 million in value. Achieving this has included taking CED Co-op through the process of becoming a public corporation, the first co-op in Canada to achieve this status. CED Co-op has funded its portfolio by raising over $20 million in investments from its 750 members, qualifying its securities for RRSP, RRIF and TFSA investments through the receipting of an Offering Statement by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario. CED Co-op has also secured debt financing from institutional lenders for funding the balance of the portfolio. The current portfolio of solar projects is expected to produce over 250 million kWh of clean energy over the next 20 years, and CED Co-op continues to look for more opportunities to generate green power.
