We’re proud to share that Lightenco has been recognized as the #17 fastest growing company in Ottawa by the Ottawa Business Journal.
This recognition matters to us not simply because of the ranking, but because of what it represents: steady, intentional growth in a city we call home, alongside partners and people who trust us to deliver complex work—well.
It also builds on our recent recognition as one of Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies, reinforcing something we believe deeply at Lightenco: growth is only meaningful when it’s matched by capability, integrity, and strong relationships.
Growth Built on Trust and Relationships
Our work in sustainable energy management sits at the intersection of lighting, EV charging, and solar—often in environments where systems are aging, timelines are tight, and expectations are high. Growth in that context doesn’t come from chasing volume. It comes from earning trust.
That trust is built project by project, conversation by conversation, and relationship by relationship.
One example we’re particularly proud of is our work at the Canadian Tire Centre, supporting the Ottawa Senators. Projects like this demand technical depth, coordination across multiple stakeholders, and the ability to deliver without disrupting critical operations. They’re not simple—and that’s exactly the point.
Handling complexity well is what allows us to grow responsibly.
Growing in Depth, Not Just Size
Fast growth often gets framed as a numbers story. For us, it’s been equally a story of depth.
We’ve invested heavily in building a team that can think critically, collaborate effectively, and take ownership. As we grow, we’re not just adding people—we’re strengthening our bench, expanding our capabilities, and developing leaders at every level of the organization.
That depth matters. It’s what allows us to show up consistently for our partners, take on more sophisticated work, and maintain the standards we set for ourselves—even as the scale increases.
Rooted in Ottawa, Looking Ahead
Ottawa has been an important part of Lightenco’s story from the beginning. It’s where we’ve built our reputation, grown our team, and developed long-standing partnerships. Being recognized among the fastest growing companies in this region is especially meaningful because it reflects confidence from the community we serve every day.
At the same time, we’re firmly focused on what’s ahead. We’ve been actively expanding our presence in the GTA and we’re delivering projects coast-to-coast.
The transition to more efficient, resilient, and sustainable energy systems is accelerating. Our role—as a partner to facility owners, institutions, and organizations—is to make that transition practical, reliable, and well executed. That responsibility is one we take seriously.
Thank You—and What’s Next
We’re grateful to our clients and partners who trust us with their facilities and their long-term plans. We’re equally grateful to our team, whose skill, judgment, and commitment make this growth possible.
If you’re looking for a partner who can manage complexity, build long-term relationships, and deliver energy solutions with care and precision, we’d welcome the conversation.
And if you’re someone who wants to do meaningful work, grow your expertise, and be part of a team that’s building something durable—we’d love to hear from you.
Growth is not the destination. It’s the by-product of doing the right work, with the right people, in the right way. We’re excited for what comes next.
