Ermineskin Nation and TIU Join Forces to build Gleichen Solar Project

Sep 29, 2024 | 10:59 AM

The Ermineskin Cree Nation and TIU Canada Ukraine Holdco Ltd. (“TIU Canada”) say they are proud to mark the first-year anniversary of their innovative partnership to build and operate the 13.3MW Gleichen Solar Project.

Officials say the Project is located near the southeastern Alberta hamlet of Gleichen. Construction started in June 2024 with the project expected to come online in early 2025.

The Ermineskin Cree Nation is one member of the Four Nations of Maskwacis, Alberta – located in central Alberta, halfway between the towns of Ponoka and Wetaskiwin. Officials say the Ermineskin Cree Nation owns 51 per cent of the Project through the Nation’s Economic Development arm, the Neyaskweyahk Group of Companies Inc. (NGCI).

Based in Calgary, AB, Canada, TIU Canada is described as an international independent renewable power producer that is executing a global strategy for net-zero power generation with projects in operation and under construction in Canada, Poland, and Ukraine. Officials say TIU Canada has a proven track record of successfully developing and operating renewable energy projects throughout the world.

TIU Canada will be leading the Project through construction and operations while NGCI members serve on the corporate board, provide strategic guidance and oversight, and build capacity in renewable execution.
