After years of planning, a proposed wind energy development off Haida Gwaii appears to be picking up speed.
NaiKun Wind Energy Group has announced that it has signed an indicative offer with a major company to develop its wind energy project in Hecate Strait.
“After months of work and lengthy engagements with numerous offshore wind companies, we are very pleased to be making this step to see the project move forward into a significant development phase,” said President and CEO Michael O’Connor, in a news release. “We look forward to starting a new and positive partnership with the Haida Nation.”
NaiKun says it is working to negotiate and sign a definitive agreement in the next few weeks, but cautions that if a deal is reached, it is still subject to shareholder approval.
