White River First Nation’s solar project expected to supply more than half of Beaver Creek’s electricity
White River First Nation celebrated the completion of its 1.9 megawatt solar facility in Beaver Creek, Yukon on Monday.
The once familiar sound of whirring diesel generators has been nearly silenced, and Beaver Creek has been running almost solely on energy from the sun, recently achieving 55 straight days of diesel-free power.
“First Nations have always been protective of the land, and the project builds on the strength of our ancestors,” said White River First Nation councillor, Dwayne Broeren, at Monday’s celebration.
