Ontario Solar PortfolioOntario Solar Portfolio

Project Description

TULLOCH has supported solar development across Ontario since 2010, with assignments ranging from small distributed-generation installations to major utility-scale solar facilities. The portfolio spans Northern, Central, Eastern, and Southern Ontario and includes projects in Sault Ste. Marie, Thunder Bay, New Liskeard, Kingston, Nanticoke, Ottawa, Cornwall, Muskoka, Windsor, Haldimand, and many other communities.

The portfolio includes early large-scale work such as the 68 MW Sault Ste. Marie Solar project, along with dozens of subsequent assignments across multiple project sizes, foundation systems, site conditions, and development stages. TULLOCH’s involvement has evolved alongside Ontario’s solar sector, from early foundation testing and site investigation through broader integrated engineering, surveying, environmental, and construction-phase assignments.
