Project Objectives
The objective of this project is to advance Haida leadership and independence through renewable energy development. Phase 1 Solar North with a nameplate capacity of 2 megawatts (MW) is currently being commissioned and the Proponent is doubling the capacity by another 2 MW. The total array will have 4 MW of generation potential and this will be the largest solar farm in BC.
Expected Results
This project aims to:
- Replace diesel fuel with sustainable energy resources for power generation in a remote community, fostering economic, social and environmental benefits for more resilient Canadian communities.
- Generate revenue, create local jobs (construction and longer-term), and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and diesel spill risks.
