Exciting news for renewable energy in the Yukon.
Two solar arrays with battery energy storage are being constructed at the Coffee Gold Project near Dawson, with operations expected to begin in 2027.
Copper Niisüü Limited Partnership, a development corporation owned by the White River First Nation, and the Government of Yukon have signed an agreement for these systems, offsetting an estimated 580,000 litres of diesel per year.
Solvest is grateful for the opportunity to have played a role in bringing this project to life.

The new solar agreement supports sustainable mining and advances renewable energy use.
