Sangudo's SPARK

Congratulations to the ACE Community of SANGUDO for the feature in the Alberta Venture Magazine focusing on the SPARK Energy Co-operative. SPARK is Alberta's first 100% member-owned retail electrical power co-operative focused on green energy and renewable energy reinvestment.

Jeff Senger, co-founder of SPARK, one of Alberta’s newest and most promising green ventures, says: "While there wasn't a direct connection of SPARK to ACE, the success I was able to experience through working with the community on our ACE projects has helped me to realize what could be achieved when people work together toward a meaningful goal. It granted me a huge amount of courage or even faith in pursuing the side project I was working on with Paul Cabaj - the electricity retailer cooperative, SPARK.

If more people were exposed to the inspiration at the core of grassroots, community led opportunities like those created by ACE, there is no doubt in my mind that more aspiring social entrepreneurs would feel compelled to take further action... And maybe try creating something much bigger than they previously thought possible!"

Thanks for the inspiring words, Jeff! We wish the best of luck to Jeff and to Sangudo and applaud both for their ongoing innovating spirits!
