A Mi’kmaq professional deeply committed to the preservation of land and resources, Dylan MacLennan has built a career at the intersection of renewable energy, energy efficiency, and Indigenous sovereignty. As the founder of L’nu Energy, he has leading the development of over 50 megawatts of utility-scale solar projects in Atlantic First Nations, advancing sustainable infrastructure while fostering Indigenous leadership in the energy sector.
