The project, named Nilhts’I Ecoener Wind Farm Project, involves the construction of 18 wind turbines east of Hixon.
Both parties worked quickly to form a partnership that would secure the rights to the project in this region.
“As a Nation, we are consistently focused on the development of clean, green, energy opportunities that assist in moving the entire Province forward constructively and safely,” stated
Chief Dolleen Logan, on behalf of Lheidli T’enneh First Nation.

We are particularly interested in those projects that place green processes and economic reconciliation at the forefront of their work.”
In addition, the host first nation has financial interests in the Northwest Transmission Line (NTL) Project, securing further electrification opportunities throughout British Columbia.
