The Proposed Project
The project proposes to build a net metered solar PV system, up to 100kW AC, in eleven (11) Mi'kmaw communities in Nova Scotia. The project will reduce each community's greenhouse gas emissions, reduce community energy costs, create employment in the renewable energy sector in Mi'kmaw communities, and give the Mi'kmaw more control over their energy and environmental future.
