The chief of a small First Nations community in British Columbia's Interior says he expects the power to go on any day now for what will be among the first solar farm 100 per cent owned and operated by a First Nation in the province.
The community began pursuing the project because the cost of living is so high in the remote community and members saw it as an opportunity to generate income while moving toward the goal of self-sufficiency, he said in an interview Sunday.
"We were trying to find ways to build out community infrastructure and supplement any higher costs with clean energy," Ross said.
