Partner: Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation

The Lutsel K’e Dene First Nation (LKDFN) is a remote community living on the Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. With the launch of its 35 kW solar project, built with support from the Bullfrog Power community, the LKDFN became the first independent power producer in Canada’s northern territories. In addition, the LKDFN Band Council approved a green reserve fund that will direct savings resulting from the solar array toward future green initiatives.

About our community projects

Activists and organizers across the country are working to transition their communities away from fossil fuels. We created our community-based green energy projects grant to provide critical funding for these local efforts.

All bullfrogpowered customers help fund these small-scale, community-led projects, including solar panels on schools and in Indigenous communities, education and training programs, and a cleantech accelerator.
