Who are we?

• Labrador Coastal Equipment Ltd. Founded in 2000
  for the purpose of acquiring as much knowledge as
  possible in the renewable energy industry and
  making it available to Newfoundlanders and
  Labradorians.
• Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro (NLH) and
  Newfoundland Power (NP) have been very
  co-operative in helping this industry to proceed
  . We have also been sharing our experience and
  expertise with other parts of the world.
• We wish to make Newfoundland and Labrador a major
  international player in the export of renewable
  energy equipment and knowledge.
• With the co-operation of federal, provincial and
  municipal governments we can become a world
  leader in the renewable energy industry
• Newfoundland has some of the best shipping and
  receiving facilities in the world for the export
  of renewable energy equipment.
