Article: First Nation granted almost $500K for school solar-power project to reduce reliance on diesel

A First Nation community school in northern B.C. has been granted provincial funds for a solar energy project that aims to reduce reliance on fossil-fuel generators.

“Our CleanBC goal is to reduce diesel consumption for power generation in remote communities by 80 per cent by 2030,” said Bruce Ralston, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources in a press release.

“By building partnerships and creating opportunities with Indigenous communities and businesses, we can help remote communities get off diesel and benefit from more efficient, healthier and cleaner fuel sources.”
