Mission Statement

Utilizing a collaborative business model, our commitment is to deliver exceptional value and integrity, equating to meaningful and sustainable returns for our clients. We fully embrace our promise to remain environmental stewards, loyal to our values in the delivery of quality solutions.

Sustainable Commitment

From the earliest days, our focus has been on conservation, recycling, reducing our carbon footprint and living sustainably. Through the generation of solar power, we have contributed to clean renewable energy exported to the Ontario electrical grid.

Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion

We manage our business in a manner that respects the distinctive cultures, traditions, and values of all people, demonstrating equality, diversity and inclusion.

Ethics

LOCSS prides itself on ethical business practices and adheres to strict anti-bribery and corruption policies and requires the same of our clients and partners.

Lisa Oelke

President

With extensive global experience in renewable energy,  we bring scalable solutions for small and large businesses to succeed in the new economy, ethically, through an inclusive framework. Energy costs are more than double what they were in 2010 and by 2030 we will likely be paying close to 0.40kWh for power in Ontario. LOCSS aims to serve as a conduit between municipalities, utilities, building owners and home owners who have interest in a path toward cleaner energy, at the source whether it be behind the meter, off-grid, the addition of EV technology or building integrated PV, which is growing at a rapid pace.

Throughout the past decade, LOCSS gained intimate knowledge and familiarity through participation in the Ontario RESOP, FIT, Micro-FIT, LRP, ICI, Peak Shaving and Save On Energy programs. In addition we  have supported capital projects in Alberta, Jamaica and the United States.

LOCSS partners with a network of senior influencers to offer a robust suit of services. Through these associations, our clients benefit from access to cyber security awareness and training, professional recruitment services,  and Indigenous lead project management training programs.

Philanthropy is a guiding principle, at the heart of how we define ourselves. The “giving” formally started in 2003 when Ms. Oelke, living in Jamaica, reached out to support social services for vulnerable teens at the Windsor Home for Girls in Jamaica, WI. The journey continued the next decade after a visit to support orphaned children in Tanzania. As founder, fundraising lead and program manager for the solar Majengo in lights and electricity project, (SMILE, Tanzania, off-grid solar) , LOCCS with a team of dedicated professionals, mitigated energy poverty for this East African community in need. Our desire is to commit resources for future charitable initiatives to benefit vulnerable and marginalized people in Canada.

With mentoring activities including a former advisory board position for Women in Renewable Energy, WiRE, we endeavour to add meaningful contribution to  the  advancement of women in the energy sector.

Currently, Ms. Oelke is thrilled to further lend her time, expertise and guidance in her role as Director on the board of StepUp, Energy Management.
