The county is looking to partner with Paq’tnkek on a trio of solar projects.
Warden Owen McCarron said the county continues to work with Paq’tnkek First Nation on a number of fronts and one of those fronts would see the two communities become more involved in renewable energy through initiative on their own and some in partnership. An application made by the county to the Low Carbon Community program would allow Paq’tnkek and the county to investigate three solar projects.
McCarron said they are in the exploratory stage for the projects, noting it is still early in the process.
