A B.C. First Nations solar farm west of Williams Lake is now operational after a five-year journey.
The largest of its kind, the 1.25 megawatt Tsilhqot’in Nation Solar Farm was completed last October, but it just started feeding into the BC Hydro grid May 28 due to some unforeseen delays.
“I’m feeling grateful,†said Yunesit’in First Nation Chief Russell Myers Ross. “I think whenever a project succeeds I’m quite happy especially because large infrastructure projects usually take three to five years from conception to completion.â€
