Resco Energy

What Resco Energy does

RESCo Energy Inc. is a Canadian turnkey solar photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance (EPCM) firm headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, founded in 2006 and operating across Canada from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. The company serves commercial and industrial (C&I) clients — including major retailers, real estate portfolio owners, manufacturers, logistics operators, governments, and educational institutions — with a single-point accountability model covering feasibility, structural analysis, PVsyst modeling, engineering design, procurement, construction, commissioning, and ongoing operations and maintenance. Its core technology offerings are rooftop and carport solar PV installations, technology-agnostic commercial/industrial BESS solutions, and a 24-hour monitoring and maintenance platform currently covering over 200 sites, supported by in-house licensed construction crews, certified safety training, and proprietary diagnostics including IV-curve analysis, thermal imaging, and SCADA programming.

RESCo generates revenue primarily through project-based EPC contracts (quote-based, not publicly priced) complemented by recurring monitoring, preventative maintenance, and corrective service fees across multi-tiered maintenance programs. Its go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales supplemented by account managers, with brand-building driven by case studies, industry awards (2018 National Solar Award Project of the Year for IKEA Edmonton; 2025 Canadian Green Building Award for Pure Industrial), and senior leadership recognition (CanSIA Industry Leader and President's Awards; Clean50 Honouree for Founder/President Fidel Reijerse). The firm holds an ownership relationship with Flynn Group of Companies — North America's largest total building envelope contractor — which doubles as its Roofing Service Partner, and is bonded and surety-backed (Aviva Insurance Company of Canada). RESCo is privately held, profitable, and operates with 101–250 employees; the company maintains memberships across CanREA, ECAA, Solar Alberta, and BC Hydro Alliance and has executed a zero general liability loss track record across its project history.

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• SkyFire Energy: Calgary-based Canadian commercial and industrial solar EPC and battery storage integrator. Closest direct competitor in the Canadian C&I rooftop and carport market with overlapping customer segments and service offering.
• Ameresco: US-listed renewable energy and energy-efficiency EPC and asset developer with deep C&I solar, storage and O&M capabilities. Highly comparable business model to RESCo's turnkey EPC plus long-term services approach, though at substantially greater scale.
• Plan Group: Toronto-based Canadian electrical contractor that has built a meaningful solar EPC and BESS practice for commercial and institutional clients. Overlaps with RESCo in core C&I rooftop work and Ontario-based field execution.
• Borrego Solar: US-headquartered commercial and industrial solar EPC and O&M firm. Comparable in turnkey C&I rooftop, carport and storage project delivery and in operating a long-tail monitoring/maintenance book.

Broad incumbents

• Johnson Controls: Global building solutions and energy services provider with rooftop solar, storage and integrated building-energy offerings. Competes with RESCo on large enterprise C&I clean energy programs as part of a much broader portfolio.
• PCL Construction: Major Canadian general contractor and design-builder with renewable energy and building-integrated solar experience. Competes for large C&I solar and storage RFPs as part of a much broader construction portfolio.
• Pomerleau: Large Canadian construction firm active across building, civil and energy projects. Competes with RESCo in C&I solar EPC via its broader construction capabilities rather than as a renewable-energy pure-play.
• AECON Group: One of Canada's largest publicly listed construction and infrastructure contractors with a growing renewable energy execution capability. Competes with RESCo on larger C&I and utility-adjacent projects as a broader incumbent rather than a solar specialist.
• EDF Renewables Canada: Canadian arm of global renewables developer EDF Renewables, active in solar, wind and storage development and asset ownership. Adjacent competitor for C&I and utility-scale solar pipeline across Canada.

Regional players

• ENMAX: Alberta-based municipal utility and energy services provider with solar generation and behind-the-meter offerings. Already a documented RESCo integration partner on the Cadillac Fairview Chinook Centre project and a regional competitor in Alberta C&I solar.
