Since 2019, Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) has been named one of Canada’s Best Managed Companies by Deloitte Canada. 2025 is the sixth year SNGRDC has been awarded this title.

This national award is presented annually by Deloitte Canada and is considered one of Canada’s leading business awards programs, recognizing excellence in private Canadian-owned companies. Each year, hundreds of entrepreneurial companies undergo a rigorous application process, but only the best are awarded with this prestigious designation.

The Best Managed Applicants are evaluated based on four key areas including: Strategy, Capabilities and Innovation, Culture and Commitment, and Governance and Financials.

This inaugural awards program celebrates projects and organizations that exemplify innovation, leadership, and a strong commitment to advancing Canada’s renewable energy and energy storage industries.

Located in Haldimand County, Ontario, the Hagersville Battery Energy Storage Park is set to become Canada’s largest battery storage facility upon completion, providing 300 MW / 1.2 GWh of flexible capacity to the provincial grid. The project sets a new benchmark for large-scale energy storage and demonstrates the power of equitable Indigenous partnership and adaptive land reuse.

Oneida Energy Storage received the Energy Storage Milestone Award at the 2025 Energy Storage Canada Conference. The Oneida project, a 250 MW/1,000 MWh battery facility now operating in Ontario, is currently the largest of its kind in Canada. At the time of submission, the facility was already delivering its full 1,000 MWh capacity during peak demand on some of the hottest days, making it a major milestone for the industry in demonstrating the transformative contributions of large-scale storage projects for Canadian electricity grids.

The Community Project of the Year Award was awarded to Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation at the 2025 First Nations Economic Advancement Conference. The Oneida Energy Storage project stands as a powerful example of Indigenous-led innovation, collaboration, and impact and has set a new standard for community-driven development. OFNEDA is proud to recognize the vision and dedication behind this project and the contributions of A6N, whose Indigenous workforce helped bring it to life.

Honoured for its exceptional worksite safety performance in delivering Canada’s largest operational energy storage facility. Five project partners — Northland Power, Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation, Aecon, NRStor and Mississaugas of the Credit Business Corporation — collaborated to build a safety culture that put workers first, supported by a joint monitoring framework, extensive workforce training and over 550 safety inspections. At the height of construction, hundreds of people were working on the project, logging nearly 300,000 hours without a single lost-time injury.
