Partnerships

Indigenous ownership at the front. Proven technology and delivery behind it.

Technology and delivery

Our technology and delivery partners.

A new company saying it can deliver a battery project is not worth much on its own. What makes it credible is who stands behind the equipment. Takaya Energy Solutions was built on an existing partnership with Sparq and Northcrest, and that relationship was in place before the company opened its doors.

Northcrest

Northcrest has been in the energy infrastructure business since 2008. It brings the supply chain, the logistics, the installation coordination and the operational experience that turns an order into a working system. Its product range covers containerized battery energy storage, mobile battery systems, mobile EV charging with integrated storage, and drone services for utility line assessment and vegetation management.

Sparq

Sparq brings the battery and power conversion technology behind our systems, drawing on Swedish engineering and established manufacturing relationships. That technology is what our containerized units are built around.

What the partnership means for a client

It means the technical answer to a qualification question already exists. It means warranties and service that sit with companies that have been doing this for years, not with a start up. And it means a Nation or a utility working with Takaya Energy Solutions gets Indigenous ownership and proven delivery in the same contract, rather than having to choose between them.

For First Nations

For First Nations and development corporations.

You have almost certainly been approached before. A developer arrives with a project already designed, offers a share of revenue and a community benefit package, and asks for a letter of support. The project gets built, and someone else owns it.

We are structured to do the opposite.

Ownership in the asset

Our starting position is an equity structure, not a royalty. Owning the asset is what builds long term revenue and a balance sheet.

Your timeline and your process

Community engagement, council approvals and internal decision making take the time they take. We plan around that instead of pushing against it, and our Senior Advisor for Indigenous Relations is in those conversations from the beginning.

Employment and contracting built in

Construction, operations and maintenance work should go to community members and community owned contractors wherever it can. That gets written into the project, not promised in a meeting.

Straight answers about the money

What it costs, what it earns, what the risks are and what happens if the numbers do not hold. Before anyone commits.

The funding search done for you

Federal, provincial and municipal programs exist specifically to grow Indigenous ownership in energy. We do that search on your project, at our cost, before you have committed to anything.

For utilities and industry

For utilities, industry and project partners.

Utilities and system operators

We are built to meet utility procurement standards on qualification, delivery schedule and long term service, with Sparq and Northcrest behind the equipment. Our ownership structure is a genuine asset in a procurement environment where Indigenous participation carries weight.

Industrial and commercial power users

Storage addresses peak demand charges, capacity constraints and reliability exposure. We will tell you whether it fits your load before either of us spends real money.

Developers and EPC firms

Projects in territory go better with an Indigenous owned partner who understands both the community relationship and the technical scope. We are open to those conversations.

Getting started

What the first step actually looks like.

  1. One conversation

    Thirty minutes. What you have, what you need, whether storage is relevant. Nothing signed.

  2. A first look at the numbers

    If it is worth exploring, we come back with an indicative sizing and a rough case. Still nothing signed.

  3. A defined scope

    If the case holds, we agree on what we would do together and put it in writing.

  4. Development

    Interconnection, permitting, funding, procurement, delivery.

Most of the projects we want to work on will not get past step two. That is how it should be. Better to find out in a month than in a year.
