The project was completed in 2020.
Our biggest consumer of electricity is our arena. It’s got the right structure to do something like this without a whole bunch of engineering involved so it was a perfect fit. We feed the grid in the summer time and consume it in the winter. We have done a number of smaller projects over the last few years aimed at making strides to be more energy efficient. It’s great for a little town like ours to be on the leading edge of something like this.
Janet Jabush, Mayor of the Town of Mayerthorpe
