Grow Opportunity Feature
Brigitte Simons was featured in Grow Opportunity in an article about our power generation.
“In Canada, we were provided rebates along with off-peak times, provisions, and less costs overall,” relays Brigitte Simons, CEO of Niagara Region’s Safari Flower. This has left companies with a history of data and expectations regarding energy usage that is statistically incompatible with current rates and market trends.
Simons estimated that producers across the country are set to see a 70 per cent increase in operational costs heading into the 2023 fiscal year as energy costs shoot upward post-pandemic — a reality that she believes many are unaware of or ill-equipped to deal with.
“Looking at it in 2022 and then looking back, there aren’t enough cycles of consistency where you could have actually made that decision on how much the cost per gram is,” says Simons. “So, now we’re faced with the realities of what is truly the cost of energy to produce cannabis in these facilities, and what we are seeing is that it is alarmingly increasing.”
