About

An R&D company in clean energy analytics

We offer multi-disciplinary expertise in clean energy resource data, power forecasting, performance analytics and predictive energy management to governments and utilities, independent power producers, real estate operators, and research partners.

Our story

Built on measurement, not estimation

Green Power Labs has spent over two decades at the forefront of research in predictive analytics blending site-specific meteorology, artificial intelligence and energy engineering.

A well-known example of our practices is solar power forecasting built on satellite data processing, numerical weather prediction and Geographic Information System-based decision support, all developed in-house rather than assembled from third-party feeds.

From the head office in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia we applied our methodologies within the clean electricity chain: from solar power plants via transmission and distribution grids to storage and consumption at commercial buildings.
