2012 GEORGIAN HONOURS
GEORGIAN HONOURS Young Georgian Award Winner
NICK ANDREWS ‘89 Since 1999, Nick has been at the forefront of developing renewable energy in British Columbia. Nick and his partners craft agreements with First Nations, municipal government, various arms of the provincial and federal governments, and senior corporations. Nick’s first project was a 30-megawatt run-of-river project on Miller Creek, near Pemberton, BC. In 2001 it was sold to Epcor and today produces electricity for BC Hydro customers. Nick formed Cloudworks Energy Inc. in 2003 to develop a larger and broader suite of projects focusing in an area north of Harrison Lake and working with the Douglas First Nations. In April of 2011, Cloudworks was purchased by Innergex for approximately $465 million, but its legacy will continue for the local communities and British Columbia.

The primary driver of Cloudworks’ success has been its willingness to work with local communities, particularly First Nations, to find areas of mutual benefit. Cloudworks has been a proud partner of the Vanasep Training Society, where Nick has served as a Director.
