March 17, 2015
First Nations Power Authority has awarded Points Athabasca Contracting and its partner Solar Logix with the contract for the design, supply and installation of solar power generation systems at two schools in Saskatchewan’s Far North, the Regina-based organization announced Tuesday.
The two roof-mounted, 64-kilowatt solar photovoltaic power systems are designed to reduce electricity bills at Father Megret Elementary School in Hatchet Lake Denesuline First Nation and Father Gamache Memorial School in Fond du Lac Denesuline First Nation, the authority said in a press release.
“(The) solar panels should help with the high cost of keeping the school operating for the year,” Hatchet Lake First Nation Chief Bart Tsannie said in the release.
