The Sade Solar Initiative in Watson Lake, Yukon, is set to become the largest Indigenous-led solar energy project in Canada's North. With over $28.6 million in funding from various government sources and partners, the project aims to reduce diesel power consumption by 24% in the community. It includes the construction of a solar power plant and a battery energy storage system and is expected to be fully operational by summer 2027. The initiative will generate significant revenue for the Liard First Nation, promoting clean energy and Indigenous leadership.
