The approval clears the way for the 22.5 megawatt project proposed by WSP Canada Inc–Solar Krafte Utilities. The project includes 225,420 solar panels installed on the quarter-section that parallels Range Road 15-4. It’s anticipated the project will begin some time next year.
Solar Krafte president Mark Burgert and Jeff Thachuk outlined why the project should be approved.
