PACE Canada Solar Project – Proposed Development

PACE Canada LP has proposed the construction of a 15MW solar farm within the town’s corporate limits on private land (SE ¼ 18-21-18 W4M). To keep current on the solar farm developments, information about the proposed project will be updated here. No decision has been made regarding the proposed solar farm development.

The project was initially introduced to council at their November 20, 2023 meeting. With the provincial government recently lifting the moratorium on renewable energy projects, PACE is taking steps to advance the solar farm project in Bassano. The first town hall meeting was held on May 15, 2024. Information obtained at this meeting will be used by PACE as they plan their proposed development. Keep checking this page for information on when the next meeting will be!
