This is the best summary I could come up with:

The MNA examined several options for a renewable energy project, and landed on solar power because of the location of Métis Crossing, 120 kilometres by road northeast of Edmonton.

But as Filella explained, the area near Métis Crossing is not as windy as it is sunny, making solar the best option.

“I think it’s just a value that’s inherent to our way of life, it’s something that we can teach other people, it’s something that everyone could learn to have gratitude for the gifts that we get from Mother Earth.”

The project will officially be up and running early next year, and will produce 4.86 megawatts of energy, enough to power about 1,200 homes.

The immediate benefit to the nation is the amount of carbon dioxide the solar farm will prevent from making its way into the environment.

Earlier this year, the federal government announced more than $160 million in investment in Indigenous-led solar projects in Alberta.
