Village of Alert Bay
With funding provided by the Union of BC Municipalities, the village selected five municipal buildings for the installation of solar arrays.
Microgrid
Microgrid systems, or “islanded” systems, are standalone community-scale electrical distribution systems that reduce communities’ dependence on diesel-generated power. When isolated communities rely heavily on diesel generation, they face fuel price instability, high operating and maintenance costs, dependence on shipments, and reduced generator lifetimes due to continuous operation.
