Chief Greg Sarazin says the project is an example of what can happen when First Nations are not just stakeholders, but owners and leaders in the transition to green energy.

“Together, we are building something extraordinary. A project that stands as the largest battery energy storage system that the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan has ever invested in, so far,” he said.

“Projects like this one show what can be achieved when First Nations and industry come together in the spirit of respect, transparency and shared purpose. They show that reconciliation is not only words, it’s about action, opportunity and shared prosperity.”​
