Sydney Solar will be built on Grand Lake Road as part of the province’s Community Solar Program which allows people to subscribe to solar gardens for clean electricity at a reduced cost.
It will be the second solar garden in the community.
AI Renewables and the Multicultural Association of Cape Breton are partnering on the Sydney Solar project. The province is contributing $340,000 to help build the solar garden, which will produce 1.7 megawatts.
