FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FOX CREEK, AB — October 27, 2026 — Confluence Partners Inc., doing business as Axina Group, today announced that Green Technology Global, Inc. has appointed Daniel Brody and Confluence Partners Inc. as its Factory Authorized Business Partner for Canada. The appointment is effective October 14, 2026. The authorization letter is published with this release.

Green Technology Global manufactures converged off-grid primary and backup power and water. The Canada appointment covers PTE Turbofans, Flux Home and Flux Ember fuel cells, and GTG atmospheric water generators, for commercial, industrial, and residential use. Axina does not manufacture the equipment. Axina supplies AXERP, the AI-ERP operating layer for the communities and agencies that deploy it.

The Gap the Partnership Is Built For

Indigenous communities across Canada face chronic power shortages, high energy costs, and deep infrastructure gaps. The Canada Energy Regulator’s market snapshot of 3 October 2018, still carried on its site, describes the off-grid picture this way: more than 280 communities and about 200,000 people are connected to neither the North American electrical grid nor natural gas pipelines. Of 283 off-grid communities in Natural Resources Canada’s Remote Communities Energy Database (May 2017), 171 are Indigenous and 112 are not. About one-third of off-grid communities, and more than 100,000 residents, are in the northern territories. The 171 Indigenous communities and the more than 100,000 territorial residents are two different figures in that snapshot.

Most of those communities rely on diesel generators. Diesel is dependable, and it is expensive and high-emission. In Nunavut, the Regulator reported unsubsidized electricity from 56.7 cents per kilowatt-hour in Iqaluit to 112.3 cents per kilowatt-hour in Kugaaruk. Confluence Partners’ 14 October 2026 executive overview, citing the Pembina Institute, puts annual diesel use for power in these communities above 90 million litres. Fuel often arrives by barge, aircraft, or winter road, and a missed season is a missed supply.

The same overview, citing Statistics Canada’s energy-poverty reporting from the 2021 Census, says 12.9 percent of on-reserve households spend 10 percent or more of after-tax income on energy, compared with 5.6 percent nationally, with the burden falling disproportionately on Indigenous women. Citing Western Standard reporting on an ESF study, it also notes that at least 333 First Nations have no natural gas service.

Northern and remote grids hit capacity limits in deep-winter cold, with rolling-blackout risk and forced cutbacks. Storms and wildfires take down long transmission lines and can leave First Nations without power for days. Households on prepaid meters lose power when credit runs out, including during extreme cold.

What Communities Are Already Building

The direction among First Nations is ownership. The Indigenous Power Coalition and regional First Nations groups are seeking co-ownership and equity in transmission and clean-energy projects. Confluence Partners’ overview notes that in July 2026 the Coalition launched Western Transmission Catalysts across British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Communities are also adding solar-battery microgrids. Solar and wind remain part of a serious plan, and they are intermittent. Northern winters include long dark periods that still need firm power. Frameworks are emerging that let remote renewable generators connect to provincial markets and sell surplus as local revenue.

The Canada Energy Regulator’s own snapshot discusses renewables, hydro, LNG, and new grid ties alongside diesel. Natural gas at the building is the pathway this partnership takes to market. It sits beside those other paths. It is not a claim that every community should abandon them.

A Steady Supply of Natural Gas, at the Building

Flux Home is a solid oxide fuel cell. It converts natural gas into electricity and useful heat, with no combustion engine to service. One unit is sized for a home, clinic, school, band office, or community hall. Where a pipeline already reaches the community, the unit ties into the line and takes load off the electric system during winter peaks. Where it does not, an on-site tank supplies the unit. Green Technology Global’s First Nation materials, converted in Confluence Partners’ overview, describe four tank sizes and illustrative runtimes. Runtime changes with household load, climate, and gas quality.

Published Flux Home specifications, from Green Technology Global: about 0.35 cubic metres of natural gas per hour; 120 VAC up to 40 amps; a footprint of 2 feet by 2 feet by 5 feet and about 600 pounds; noise under 45 dBA at 10 feet; indoor or outdoor installation in about a day; remote telemetry; certifications UL 1741, UL 9540B, and EN 50465. The Flux family is described as able to run on LP, natural gas, CNG, PNG, bio-CNG, and methane. Flux Ember is the deployable unit for high-rise and emergency use. A fuel cell uses hydrocarbon fuel and still produces carbon dioxide. It is quieter firm power, with no diesel engine to service.

"Communities that run on diesel deliveries and long lines need firm power they can own, and a system of record for what that power is doing. Confluence Partners is Green Technology Global’s Factory Authorized Business Partner in Canada. AXERP is the layer we bring: monitoring, work orders, fuel, ownership, and revenue, kept with the community."

How a Community Starts

The Flux Home First Nation Access Program, as set out in Confluence Partners’ overview, moves in five steps with Chiefs and Councils, development corporations, and funding partners.

AXERP records the assets, the work, the fuel, and the ownership. Where a community can sell surplus, the same ledger is the place that revenue is tracked. Distributed units also change the failure mode: a line down in a wildfire does not have to be the only way a clinic stays on.
