A First Nation in central British Columbia will build what the federal government says will likely be the largest off-grid solar project in Canada.
The power plant will be built by the Ulkatcho Energy Corporation.
BC Hydro says the project is expected to generate 3.8 megawatts, enough to power approximately 350 homes.
The statement says BC Hydro will buy the solar energy and integrate it into power lines and a battery storage system to serve the community.
