CanSIA 2013

Toronto, Ontario – December 2013

“Being invited to the solar show was a great experience for us, thanks to Jeff for the opportunity and to Kristin for wanting to participate and representing Neutopia behind the booth!”

Solar Canada is the premier solar show of the year and has more than 3000 delegates attending. While this year’s show didn’t seem to be as well attended as in previous years, the announcements made by the Minister of Energy during the show about the directives to the OPA were welcomed with open arms and excitement: the OPA Feed-in-tariff program will be accepting not one but two rounds of applications in 2014, including the re-opening of the large FIT under a new competitive procurement program. Many companies remain upset with the OPA’s management of the still immature FIT program, and some have even closed up shop and left the province. This leaves more opportunity for us; Neutopia has alliances with a vast network of partners and investors who are eager to invest in the upstream soft costs, applications and development process, so as long as we continue to find land owners interested in earning extra income we have no shortage of funding for solar projects.

What’s even more exciting? Many solar companies are now coming to Neutopia to help finance their projects!  If you are a solar developer and seeking a partnership please contact us today.

Neutopia Green Buildings Toronto 2013

Toronto, Ontario – December 2013

“Operating High Performance Buildings – Are You Ready?”

We were proud to have been invited to present a seminar alongside Ellis Don, such a high profile international engineering firm, at the Toronto Convention Center in December. It’s a sign that we are truly emerging from stealth with respect from our peers.  Attended by dozens of property managers, the seminar was focused on integrating various technologies to lower the operating costs of multi-residential buildings, high rise condo and office towers, hotels and resorts around the world.

It is getting invited to speak at such prestigious conferences as this and sharing the stage with engineering firms such as Ellis Don that is helping to raise awareness about Neutopia and our innovative business model and getting our name out there.  Robert’s lecture was focused on presenting case studies of Fortune 500 clients who have installed some of the technologies we are promoting and how much they have saved on electricity and gas, and how much can be saved by combining technologies.  So many property managers received Continuing Education credits by attending our seminar, we are optimistic it will result in some high profile Green Building projects in 2014!

Toronto, Ontario – September 2013

Neutopia ecoSOLUTIONS Inc. (www.neutopia.ca), the world’s first Social Benefit energy company, has become an official representative for Ontario’s energy conservation programs and energy savings initiatives.  Working closely with local utilities for both electricity and natural gas reduction efforts, Neutopia reps can now offer incentives including rebates for most equipment of up to 50% off.

Our reports on energy security for the new millennium are sure to attract communities around the world that do not have their own grant program but who could benefit from Neutopia’s Green Energy Investment Network.

Combined with our vast portfolio of technologies, our international network of technology advisors, our bulk energy purchase program, and Neutopia’s Green Energy Investment Network, which can add our consulting fees to the final purchase, we should be able to attract clients from a wide range of building types and industries.

“All Neutopia reps can now offer many of our energy savings technologies with rebates of up to 50%!! This should help streamline adoption of many common technologies such as energy efficient lighting and HVAC upgrades while opening up the door for ancillary sales and most importantly in becoming their green energy provider.”

InternationalVerticalCitiesConference

In March 2013, Neutopia was a special guest speaker at the International Vertical Cities Conference in Seoul, and toured the region for a few weeks to meet with key stakeholders and understand the problems, opportunities and to discover the potential for Neutopia Ambassadors to launch our efforts in South Korea.

Thanks to South Korea’s forward-thinking government, their Renewable Portfolio Standard and major initiatives to adopt Energy Efficiency in Buildings and Communities, we see it as a direct fit for Neutopia’s Social Benefit Green Partnership Programs and planting our seeds in their fertile economic development environment. We met with officials from the Canadian Embassy, South Korean Economic Development offices representing 2 major development sites, international project developers and technology providers and already attracted a hotel owner who is eager to ‘go green’…all in only one week!

Over 10,000 companies offer energy audits, efficiency technologies, bulk energy pricing programs and Green Power, but there’s only one company in the world that combines Energy Efficiency with Community Empowerment and Social Benevolence: Neutopia!

Neutopia LEAN Community Program2

Neutopia Can Also Help LEED Certified Buildings Uncover Additional Savings

Audacious statement? Maybe so. But we have the proven technologies and the brightest cleantech minds in the world to back it up. We are capable of providing what may be the most diverse suite of ecoSOLUTIONS in the world to Reduce BOTH Peak Demand (kW) and Energy Use (kWh) from utility bills!  Challenge us with your building. Put Neutopia inside and let us find you some lost revenue, and then we will use our own profits to help people who are suffering. You have nothing to lose, and the people we want to help have everything to gain. We can bring hope. We can change lives. We can improve life. Simply by transforming sustainability problems into social solutions.

Your part is simple; open your door. Let us do the rest.

ClientsGreenPartners

Our Total Green Buildings Solution Program includes custom solutions at the Residential level, Institutional, Retail-Commercial, Hospitality, Industrial and innovative solutions to develop entire energy-smart communities that harness the latest in cleantech, renewable energy, energy efficiency and effective waste management/conversion systems.  Remote and off-grid sites can probably benefit the most!  We can still partner with you even if you have already signed a contract with an engineering firm because no company has all of the technologies that we are promoting; think of us as the icing on the cake and in many cases your partnership with Neutopia may be the greatest solution of all because with Neutopia’s Total Building Solutions Program our integrated solution option is much greater than the sum of its parts!

Our mission begins with the phased development at strategic locations, bringing a diverse portfolio of leading ‘green’ technologies and reaching out to industries and communities that are ready to embrace this revolution. We take great pride in living harmoniously with nature, and Neutopia is prepared to integrate our eco-solutions into high priority regions to benefit communities in need of economic stimulation, new businesses, youth retention and job creation, renewable energy and efficiency technologies. It is our strong belief that our unique Social Benefit business model will simplify the road to energy independence and empower communities around the world. We are proving this with our first project proposals in Ontario, Canada, where if the OPA approves our projects it could result in hundreds of thousands of dollars devoted to help ease suffering and promote community health…every year!

Neutopia Difference

Elementary green building plans start at the Basic level. Neutopia helps these clients get to the next level where the bigger energy savings can be found. Moreover, Neutopia’s incentives are far greater than any utility company’s rebate program in North America…showing that we truly are at the forefront of energy efficiency and we will constantly strive to maintain our position as the most advanced Cleantech company in the world.

 

*We are even seeking buildings that are already ‘green’, as Neutopia’s program can uncover additional savings where traditional energy audits fail simply because some technologies are not widespread yet or do not have mass distribution agreements in place. Neutopia may be the most advanced solutions provider in the world, and our Green Partnership Program Money-back Guarantee ensures it’s a risk-free alliance!

A Unique Multidisciplinary Approach

Not every client or community has the same problem, but they all have the same type of problem; primarily energy and waste management.  Neutopia has created a unique business model which includes an unprecedented network of technology providers and project scouts ready to initiate our projects. When hired by an individual client or by a town, our multidisciplinary team of experts is put to work. This team is composed of renewable energy experts, environmental scientists, engineers, biologists, green building specialists, grant advisors, even government relations and Aboriginal advisors (our 7 solar farm applications to the Ontario Power Authority included 51% Aboriginal ownership).

Neutopia bubbles

“When Neutopia is recruited, our multi-disciplinary team of experts arrives. We first conduct a Community Assessment based on our 30-point Swarm Project Development™ Action Plan over a period of several months. We also present our Public Awareness Seminars; awe-inspiring multimedia shows to attract interest and participation throughout the entire community.” 

The world is moving toward a clean energy future with global renewable energy investments reaching new heights in 2012 and will continue growing as communities are adopting clean fuel and sustainable energy initiatives, chemical production from renewable resources and effective waste management policies. In fact, annual investment in new renewable power capacity worldwide is set to grow over four fold between 2013 and 2030, according to new research by Bloomberg New Energy Finance. The most probable scenario showed investments in renewable energy skyrocketing by 230 percent to $630 billion per year by 2030, driven by improvements in the cost-competitiveness of wind and solar technologies, along with developments in hydro, geothermal and biomass conversion. Also, the market for Sustainable Building materials and energy efficiency technologies are expected to more than double from $116 billion in 2012 to $254 billion per year by 2020.

 “Neutopia was created to identify the barriers and create enablers, essentially to help communities and industrial partners to develop Lean/Green [Community / Corporate] Social Responsibility Plans via our unique Neutopia ecoPARK & Green Community business model with the right incentives and financial support that will streamline these initiatives while stimulating local economic development.”

 

World’s Most Diversified Solutions Provider

Our portfolio comprises a full suite of Energy Efficiency & Sustainable Solutions from evaluating 100’s of technologies, enabling us to offer custom solutions for homes, high rises and resorts to schools, hospitals, large industrial sites and Off-Grid for remote areas.  Not only are we capable of providing what may be the most diverse suite of ecoSOLUTIONS in the world to Reduce BOTH Peak Demand (kW) and Energy Use (kWh) from utility bills, Neutopia is the world’s first Social Benefit Project Development Company of its kind; 80% – 100% of our profits will be devoted to community enhancement projects. We are not a charity; charity groups raise money by asking for donations and then hiring a project developer, while Neutopia is a project developer that will be using its own revenue to re-invest in the development of community improvement projects and/or humanitarian aid initiatives at home and around the world!

 Why do Communities Keep Re-inventing the Wheel?

We are not a consulting firm that simply writes reports; there have been enough reports sponsored by communities all over the world that end up collecting dust because many of these communities do not have the capacity to transfer that knowledge into a business attraction action plan.  Failure lies not in the knowledge of a solution but in the execution of it and that’s why we created a simple system to streamline the entire process enabling us to achieve in a few months what could take a town more than a year of studies and reports on their own to accomplish.

Uniting the Community

One of the key steps in the Neutopia LEAN Community Partnership Program™ is to hold our proprietary Sustainable Community Public Awareness Seminar.  This is an awe-inspiring two-hour odyssey into the realm of cleantech and success stories from around the world, complete with pictures, videos and exciting guest speakers. We introduce the reason why we were recruited to the Municipality, what we are planning, and how the community can get involved with their own green energy projects, without requiring their capital investment!

Neutopia’s International Green Building Initiative comes at a perfect time as new building codes come into effect around the world, requiring an unprecedented energy efficiency rating for new buildings and upgrades to existing facilities. Neutopia understands that the benefits of going green and incorporating energy efficiency savings into buildings can be a confusing and long process for building owners and facility managers, taking up significant time, resources, and especially financing to undertake such an initiative.

InternationalVerticalCitiesConference

“We saw this as an opportunity to create our own niche market where we don’t simply write reports with recommendations, but rather we form partnerships with building owners so we can uncover additional savings. Then we use our profits to help people who are suffering in their community or in another country.  This Social Benefit business model raises the bar on Community/Corporate Social Responsibility campaigns, while the client benefits economically.  Moreover, our Green Energy Financing Network means our clients don’t even have to use their own operational budgets and can opt to either pay off their projects over 15 – 20 years or they can simply allow us to install the technologies at our own cost and pay them monthly royalties on the savings!  It’s a game-changing business model that is attracting international interest.”  -Robert W. Laporte, CEO Neutopia, speaking at the International Vertical Cities Conference in Seoul, South Korea, March 2013

 Joining Neutopia could be one of the greatest decisions of your life.  This is especially true when you are able to see on your mobile phone exactly how our partnership is helping people in your community, and around the world.

Multi-disciplinary approachNot every client or community has the same problem, but they all have the same type of problem; primarily energy and waste management.

Neutopia has created a unique business model which includes an unprecedented network of technology providers and project scouts ready to initiate our projects.

When hired by an individual client or by a town, our multi-disciplinary team of experts is put to work. This team is composed of renewable energy experts, environmental scientists, engineers, biologists, green building specialists, grant writers, even government relations and Aboriginal advisors.

When Neutopia is recruited, our multi-disciplinary team of experts arrives. We first conduct a Community Assessment based on our 30-point Action Plan over a period of several months. We then present our Public Awareness Seminar, an awe-inspiring multimedia show, to attract interest throughout the community.

Putting the Business Model to the Test: Neutopia’s First Project Advisory Team

We had more than 30 advisors assist on our first Neutopia Green Community Partnership Project, which was at the most northern region of the highway 11 corridor. We conducted the community assessment over a period of several months and created a Project Advisory team based on the requirements of that particular ecoPARK plan for that particular community, which included a high profile mining company that required a solution from Neutopia to provide up to 300 MWe of power.

The process included dozens of conference calls with our technology advisors, meetings and interviews with representatives from multiple governmental offices and key stakeholders such as OMAFRA, MNR, MNDMF, OPA, REFO, First Nations, Hydro One, TCPL, and a host of municipal officials for City Planning, Waste Management, Public Works, Economic Development, etc. and also the evaluation of potential development sites and infrastructure upgrades for the electricity grid & natural gas lines.

Knowing who to call is one part of the equation, but knowing which questions to ask based on the requirements of a particular technological solution is one of the key competitive advantages of Neutopia. We were able to organize and plan an entire Green Community Plan and a Green Mining ecoPARK resulting in a 188 page report “Neutopia Reveals Plans for $450 million ecoPARK to Support the Development of Ontario’s Ring of Fire Mining Activities”.

This report is now in the hands of the Municipal Council and we are waiting eagerly for the announcement from the mining company if they’re going to pursue developing their manufacturing facility in the region, if not then our proposal can still be developed on a smaller scale if the Municipal officials want us to proceed.

This feat was accomplished in a few months, something that would otherwise have taken a general municipal economic development office more than a year to complete including the high cost associated with hiring various consultants and issuing public requests for proposals and quotes. We have now proven the effectiveness of a simple but intricate system that we are able to duplicate for communities right across North America.

2 Public Awareness Seminars were also presented to attract interest. Dozens of members of the community attended the 2-hour multi-media presentations and resulted in more than $35 million in Green Building and Renewable Energy projects. This includes projects that we have already been contacted for as well as new projects that we are now preparing project proposals for.
Project advisory team

The opportunities in the Municipality are tremendous as it is in the heart of Ontario’s richest sources of under-utilized natural resources and vacant land and could lead to significant economic development.

We’ve already been approached by building owners who are interested in Green Building projects and rooftop solar, land owners who own property for wind and small ecoPARK projects with greenhouses, and the co-owner of a wood mill who wants to re-open the mill by integrating an ecoPARK on the property to enhance the investment opportunity. Neutopia has so many opportunities to pursue, we need more feet on the ground every time we make a public announcement!

Neutopia is recruited by towns to develop our Neutopia Community ecoPARKs and Community Green Plans to help the whole town ‘go green’.  We have established alliances with leading technology providers and have created a diverse portfolio of solutions for communities.

Our fully-integrated community eco-PARKs will produce electricity from renewable resources, biofuels, and chemicals for bio-based products from renewable resources, and will be complimented with a diverse portfolio of solar, wind, geo-x, and hydro technologies wherever possible.

We have also been approached for large-scale agricultural projects for purpose-grown crops for biomass cogeneration, as well as landfill diversion projects to convert organic waste into other useable forms of energy.  All of these projects have municipal support by way of formal MOU’s, land with grid capacity, and they will improve the environmental and economic health of our communities.

The Neutopia Green Energy Investment Network™

A key feature of Neutopia is that we already reached out to more than 300 investment firms, asset management firms, investment banks, venture capitalists and angel investors and created a portfolio or ‘green network’ composed of investors who are focused on each type of renewable energy project from residential solar to large utility scale power plants, and includes international project development expertise.

This enables Neutopia to offer a variety of financing strategies to each type of client or to develop partnerships with building owners and landowners. If you have a project and are seeking investors contact us today to learn about the benefits of the Neutopia Green Community Partnership Program™.

We specifically focused on entering into an MOU with a Strategic Partnership for our solar projects first, since they will usually be Phase I development for each of our ecoPARKS. Having an equity partner also facilitates the debt financing we need to invest in our own projects, and in our case it’s via one network.

Neutopia’s Focus to Help Aboriginal Communities

Aboriginal ProjectNeutopia Project Bawajigaywin

Neutopia is motivated by a powerful desire to use technology to help our communities become more efficient, more independent, and to create new regionalized micro-economies that will result in sustainable employment. We believe that remote communities such as many Aboriginal communities can benefit from the emerging bio-economy like with no other industrial or economic opportunity in history.

Before we launched our initiative over the Internet, we developed relationships with First Nations and Metis in Ontario who responded to our emails and calls for interest. We hope to attract many more, and create a network of Neutopia ecoPARKS that will thrive and help lift these communities to a more prosperous economic state and help them realize the benefits of harnessing our natural resources with various technologies goes far beyond job creation; it can lead to a strengthened unity and increased community health.
