Canada Backs Landmark Solar Project in Anahim Lake
Today, the Government of Canada is pleased to announce an additional $4.9 million in funding to support the Anahim Lake Solar Project, bringing our total contribution to nearly $17 million. This new solar energy project will provide the Ulkatcho First Nation with access to a clean and renewable source of energy that is cheaper, safer and healthier than diesel power. Located in Anahim Lake, B.C., the project is set to reduce the need for diesel generation in the remote community by about 64 percent – equal to a reduction of 1.1 million litres of diesel a year – making it one of the largest off-grid solar projects in Canada.
The project also includes the construction of new access roads and paths, together with investments in the control and monitoring of the new facility, fire management and security.
This is how Canada becomes a clean energy superpower – by working with Indigenous partners, reducing emissions and investing in nation-building infrastructure that delivers economic and environmental results.
