EcoSmart is managing the implementation by the Tŝilhqot’in Nation (TNG) of a one-megawatt (1.25 MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) plant on the site of a former sawmill in BC, Canada. The “Tŝilhqot’in Solar Farm” is the first large-scale solar power plant 100% owned and operated by a First Nation in Canada. The expected outcomes are multiple: clean energy, redevelopment of a closed sawmill and adjacent brownfield into a solar farm, support to the local communities, creation of jobs and business opportunities, fostering innovation and access to new technologies, training and advanced education, and more. The Chilcotin region is amongst the top five solar hot spots in BC. The Tŝilhqot’in Nation wants to make the Tŝilhqot’in Solar Farm a center of excellence for Indigenous solar development and foster many more solar initiatives both regionally and in other indigenous communities.
