COLDSTREAM, BRITISH COLUMBIA, AUG 6 – The 2,460-panel system generates 1.7 gigawatt-hours annually, powering a quarter of the industrial park and creating up to 1,000 jobs, advancing clean energy and economic recovery.
- Restoration Lands Inc. has launched British Columbia’s biggest rooftop solar project at their industrial park located in Coldstream’s Okanagan Eco community.

- The $2.1 million system includes 2,460 panels covering two football fields, supplying about 1.7 gigawatt-hours annually, enough for roughly 155 homes and meeting full on-site power needs.
- BC Hydro CEO Charlotte Mitha said, "This is the largest solar one in the province" and called the project "the future," while Molnar urged businesses to use rooftop spaces for solar power.
- Restoration Lands plans a second phase to double capacity and add battery storage, suggesting increased local clean energy generation and stronger grid resilience ahead.
