Project benefits

We strive to be a good neighbour, and work closely with the community to identify areas of opportunity and concern. The Project will have many community benefits, including the following:

Local Employment: up to 150 direct jobs, and close to 100 full time jobs indirectly during construction. During operations, the Project will provide five permanent full-time jobs.

Local Economic Boost: local businesses will experience increased activity due to the spin-off opportunities created by the Project during development, construction, and operations.

Property Taxes: The Project will pay annual property taxes to the County, resulting in financial benefits to the community.

Clean Energy Generation: The Project will generate emissions-free electricity for approximately 300,000 homes.
