Tilley Solar in Alberta Advances Indigenous Leadership in Renewable Energy
December 10, 2025
The Tilley Solar Project has officially reached its commissioning phase, marking the final project milestone and the advancement of clean energy and First Nation renewable energy leadership in Alberta. The now fully operational 23.6 MW project could generate enough renewable power to offset approximately 14,200 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year, contributing to Canada’s net-zero goals while delivering long-term economic benefits to Alexander First Nation.
The partnership is comprised of Alexander Business Centre, First Nation Power Development Inc. (FNpower), Concord Green Energy, with support from the Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB). The Tilley Solar Project represents a model for inclusive, large-scale renewable development.
Continued investment and ongoing work to strengthen Alberta’s grid will help ensure the long-term success of Tilley and the province’s broader renewable energy sector.
Chief George Arcand Jr, Alexander First Nation: “I would like to acknowledge how meaningful the Tilley Solar Project is for Alexander First Nation. Our community has worked hard to build a strong and diverse economy, and this project is another example of investing wisely for the future. The long-term returns it will generate are important for our members today and for generations to come, while providing clean energy that reflects our responsibility as stewards of the land. I would like to thank Alexander Business Centre, First Nation Power Development, and Concord Green Energy for their dedication and partnership in bringing this project to life.”
