In this episode, Andrea Kraj, CEO of CORE Renewable Energy, speaks with Mariette Mulaire about her entrepreneurial journey and how her company came to be. She explains the importance behind helping rural farming communities develop their own energy projects at a utility scale – something that set a precedence in Manitoba as it was never done before. Andrea also brings another very important perspective as a mother of 2 and the ways she’s approached new responsibilities such as homeschooling.

CORE Renewable Energy was founded and grounded on the principals of bringing community oriented renewable energy to remote and rural areas. In fact, CORE recently received the Technology Award at the 2020 Spirit of Winnipeg organized by the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce.
