NaiKun Wind gets deal with Haida Nation
Upstart developer NaiKun Wind Energy Group Inc. has signed a deal with the Council of the Haida Nation to operate NaiKun’s proposed offshore wind farm, which would include 110 turbines to generate 396 megawatts of power in 2014. NaiKun and the Haida Nation will each have a 50-per-cent stake in the company that will operate the project, to be located in the Hecate Strait in northwestern British Columbia, part of the Haida’s traditional territory. The next major step for NaiKun is to secure a power purchase agreement from the B.C. government, a decision expected later this year. NKW (TSXV) was unchanged at 50 cents.
