Mr. Sandford is the CEO of Diloo and through has been involved in various stages of the construction of Nu E's flagship project in Alberta, Lethbridge One.

I firmly believe that the world has decided on hydrogen and I look forward to bringing my expertise and knowledge of both solar and hydrogen to the NU E team," said Devon Sanford.

"The Acquisition of Diloo and retention of its key management and partnerships with indigenous Canadians helps to position Nu E as a responsible contributor to North America's energy supply," said Kyler Hardy, Non-Executive Chairman of Nu E.
