> There's a solar farm in Old Crow., Yukon's northernmost community, and a proposed wind project by Kluane First Nation.
> Now, the largest solar project the territory has ever seen - proposed by White River First Nation - has received a green light from the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board.
> In this case, power bills for individuals wouldn't change as the solar panels feed into the local grid, but the First Nation would receive the revenue rather than the utility.
> A lease still needs to be established for the solar project site, among other things, which the Yukon government would need to sign off on.
> Old Crow's solar project is nearing completion, meaning Yukon's only fly-in community is about to rely less on diesel generators - some of which date back to the 1970s.
> White River First Nation in Beaver Creek, Yukon, is moving ahead with plans to build a 1.9-megawatt solar voltaic system to help relieve the community of its dependency on diesel energy.
