Indigenous-owned HyVera connects communities with the innovative, reliable energy technologies Canada’s next chapter will depend on
VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 24, 2026 /CNW/ — Canada is in the middle of a historic energy build-out. From the launch of a national Electricity Strategy to a wave of nation-building projects moving through the federal Major Projects Office, the country is committing to power on a scale not seen in generations. HyVera Distributed Energy Canada Inc. (“HyVera”), a majority Indigenous-owned and CCIB-certified energy company, believes that build-out will only succeed if it reaches every community, starting with First Nations.
The challenge is clear. Demand for electricity is climbing as industry grows and more of the economy electrifies. At the same time, many remote and rural communities still rely on diesel deliveries and aging infrastructure that leave families and businesses exposed to high costs and outages. Big transmission lines and megaprojects matter, but they cannot reach everyone quickly. Closing that gap requires reliable, innovative energy solutions built where power is used.
That is where HyVera comes in.
Rather than promoting a single product, HyVera works as a technology driven, solution first partner. The company evaluates a broad and growing range of on demand hydrogen, fuels and distributed energy technologies, matches the right solution to each community’s goals and geography, and delivers projects through joint venture partnerships that keep ownership and long-term benefits in community hands.
“First Nations are not on the sidelines of Canada’s energy future. We are helping to build it,” said Rich Robillard, President of HyVera. “Communities across the country are already leading projects that make power cleaner, more affordable, and more dependable. Our job is to bring the best technologies to that table and make sure the communities hosting them are owners and decision-makers.”
Indigenous leadership is already reshaping Canada’s energy landscape, with nearly 200 energy and infrastructure projects now partially or wholly owned by Indigenous communities. HyVera sees distributed, community-owned energy as the natural next step: smaller, faster-to-deploy systems that strengthen local reliability, reduce dependence on diesel, and create skilled jobs close to home.
With an experienced team drawn from energy, engineering, aerospace, and technology development, HyVera is leaning forward to deliver the most dependable solutions to Canada’s growing challenges with energy demand and reliability.
HyVera invites Chiefs and Councils, Indigenous economic development corporations, and community energy leaders to start a conversation about what reliable, locally owned power could mean for their Nation.
