Written by Dan Comand December 11, 2011
Eclipsall announced that the company’s PV modules have been selected for use in a project of 30 new microFIT systems in Kapuskasing, Ontario. DBMS Energy Solutions of Kapuskasing in cooperation with Strathcona Solar Initiatives of Napanee, ON are managing and building the project.
The total investment for the project is in excess of $2 million and will create employment and boost the economy in the municipality. “The addition of solar energy to our power generation portfolio is an important step in strengthening and diversifying our local economy,” commented Kapuskasing mayor, Al Spacek. Mayor Spacek continued, “Our investments in renewable energy are creating new jobs and helping build a stronger community.”
A forward thinking municipality, Kapuskasing recognized the potential for solar panel projects under Ontario’s Green Energy Act and has a plan to use vacant properties for solar projects that deliver a new source of revenue to the municipality.
“We are pleased to be partnering in this important microFIT project in Northern Ontario,” said Les Lyster, CEO of Eclipsall (above). “We see this as another growth opportunity for Eclipsall.”
