DAYLIGHT SUN
The name of Epcor's controversial solar farm in the river valley was unveiled Wednesday, May 4th. The solar farm has officially been given the Cree word kisikaw pisim which means "daylight sun". "Daylight sun" is not only an appropriate name it is what the 30,350 solar panels of the 51-acre solar farm needs to make it viable and justify the project in spite of ecological concerns.
Epcor built the daylight sun solar farm generate a substantial portion of the power required by the E.L Smith Water Treatment Plant. The project is nearing completion and is expected to be operational this fall.
