PRINCE GEORGE — The Lheidli T’enneh First Nation and its partner, Ecoener Energie Canada, Inc., have placed a succesful bid to create a wind farm project within its traditional territory.
The project, named Nilhts’ L Ecoener Wind Farm Project, involves the construction of 18 wind turbines east of Hixon. Reacting to the successful bid, Chief Dolleen Logan says the nation is consistently focused on the development of clean, green, energy opportunities that assist in moving the entire province forward constructively and safely.”
Along with the Nations investment in Nilhts’I Ecoener Energy Corp., the company formed by Lheidli T’enneh and Ecoener for purposes of developing the Nilhts’I Ecoener Wind Farm Project, Lheidli T’enneh has financial interests in the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) Project, securing further electrification opportunities throughout British Columbia.
The provincial government has given the green light to nine wind energy projects that it says will boost the province’s hydro-electric grid by eight per cent annually, enough to power 500,000 homes.
