quA-ymn Solar advances Indigenous ownership in clean energy
15-megawatt solar facility in British Columbia’s interior moves forward
Fast facts
The CIB is loaning $35 million towards the 15-megawatt, quA-ymn Solar project located 50 kilometres southwest of Kamloops, British Columbia.
The investment alongside the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council (NNTC) and BluEarth Renewables will enable economic participation for NNTC communities and advance long-term financial independence.
quA-ymn Solar is the first Indigenous Community Infrastructure Initiative (ICII) clean power investment to reach financial close in British Columbia.
Benefits of CIB’s Involvement
Through the ICII, we are investing in projects and partnerships which directly benefit Indigenous communities. Financing from the CIB will enable the NNTC ownership in the project, which will provide long-term economic stability for member communities. The province’s grid will benefit from a new sustainable energy resource.
