Indigenous solar energy project brings jobs, reliable revenue stream to community in Alberta: “Congratulations to Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation’s (ACFN)
investment and joint venture with Concord Green Energy on the
commencement of three solar farms in southern Alberta. These projects,
totalling 70 MW of installed solar capacity, will diversify the economy,
create jobs and generate enough to power about 22,000 homes. This 50/50
joint venture of solar with potential for future battery energy storage
systems demonstrates the leadership and commitment from ACFN to be
climate leaders in Alberta’s clean energy transition. By bringing their
experience from the 3NE Fort Chipewyan solar farm, ACFN is walking the
talk and investing not only in renewable energy, but also in their
community members and the generations to come.”
