Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. Strengthens Position in Renewable Energy Development
Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. announces the approval of its normal course issuer bid (NCIB) program by the TSX Venture Exchange, marking a strategic initiative to enhance its market presence and shareholder value. Set to commence on June 11, 2025, and conclude on June 10, 2026, the program allows Westbridge to repurchase up to 5,057,492 shares, equivalent to approximately 5% of its outstanding shares. This move follows a clarification regarding the initial proposed dates, which were found to be incorrect. The company engages Canaccord Genuity Corp. to facilitate these repurchases, emphasizing a commitment to creating long-term returns for its investors.
As a leading player in the renewable energy sector, Westbridge specializes in originating and developing utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) projects across multiple key markets, including Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Italy. With a portfolio of over 40 developed projects, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing global shift towards renewable energy adoption. By investing at the early stages of solar project development, Westbridge aims to maximize its involvement in the entire value chain, providing sustainable electricity solutions that align with the increasing demand for clean energy among consumers and businesses alike.
Westbridge’s strategic focus also involves fostering collaboration among various stakeholders, including regulators, corporate buyers, and landowners, to ensure the successful execution of its projects. While the company expresses confidence in its strategic direction, it acknowledges the inherent risks and uncertainties that could impact its planned outcomes. Forward-looking statements regarding the NCIB and the company’s business strategies are based on current expectations and may evolve as circumstances change. This balanced approach underscores Westbridge’s commitment to transparency while pursuing its ambitious growth objectives.
In addition to the NCIB announcement, Westbridge Renewable Energy Corp. will present at the 2025 Canadian Climate Investor Conference (CCIC) on June 11, 2025. Scott M. Kelly, the Director and Board Chair, is set to engage in discussions on advancing sustainable power and bioenergy solutions. The conference, organized by the Toronto Stock Exchange and TSX Venture Exchange, aims to connect clean technology and renewable energy companies with climate-conscious investors, facilitating meaningful dialogues about accelerating capital deployment for a sustainable future in Canada.
Westbridge’s participation in the CCIC highlights its ongoing commitment to promoting the adoption of renewable energy and engaging with stakeholders who are invested in sustainability. The company continues to position itself as a vital contributor to the renewable energy landscape, leveraging its expertise to drive the transition towards cleaner energy sources.
