French renewables firm developing 200 MW project near Sault Ste. Marie, 50 MW asset close to Temiskaming Shores

Renewable energy producer and developer Neoen is partnering with two First Nations on solar projects in Ontario, one of which is a 200-megawatt (MW) installation slated to be the province’s biggest to date.

The 200 MW AC project is to be sited 55 kilometres east of Sault Ste. Marie.
