Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the Articles of the Company, the change of name was approved by way of resolutions passed by the Board of Directors of the Company.
Stefano Romanin, Director, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "In the context of today's global energy shift toward net-zero, we are excited by the contribution of solar, and the staggering rate at which it continues to grow. Our team is positioned well to leverage our expertise and bring new renewable energy projects to the forefront. As one of the leading solar PV developers, we felt it important to change our name at this stage of our evolution, as we help fulfill the demands of the new global energy economy."
Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. develops best-in-class solar PV projects. The Company plans to deliver attractive, long-term returns by originating, executing, and developing an international portfolio of renewable assets for investors and utilities. Management has a strong track-record with 40+ projects developed worldwide, obtaining, and executing permits on time and within budget. As one of the very few listed pure-play Canadian solar development companies, Westbridge provides its investors with valuable access to greenfield solar projects. This means the Company can invest at the earliest stage of solar energy development benefiting from the full value chain as well as the expected wider adoption of renewable energy going forward. Westbridge brings together regulators, corporate buyers, and landowners with the goal of delivering clean, sustainable electricity to end users.
