Vancouver’s Energy Plug Technologies has appointed Jonathon Araujo (Redbird) as the newest member of its Board of Directors.
Energy Plug Technologies believes that “micro-grids”—defined as localized groups of electricity sources that can operate synchronously or independently from a main grid—are poised to become an increasingly integral part of modern energy infrastructure.
Redbird will advise Energy Plug on Indigenous relations and provide support for future strategic partnerships and research and development opportunities related to energy programs within Indigenous communities.
Redbird is a Band member of the Saugeen First Nation, a part of the Anishinaabe peoples. With over two decades of experience in finance and economic development, Mr. Redbird brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the Energy Plug team.
Redbird has worked with more than 220 Indigenous communities on Indigenous innovation, technology, financial advising, infrastructure development, and capital raising, holding previous leadership positions with Pontiac Group and CORE Advisor.
“Energy Plug is working diligently to embrace the energy infrastructure transition in Canada head-on,” said Redbird.
“As I look to the future, I am excited to lend my expertise to Energy Plug’s leadership team in an effort to support a sustainable energy landscape that respects Indigenous relations and fosters Canadian innovation.”
