“Mi'kmaq energy summit gives update on wind farm projects”, 27 September 2016

Mi'kmaq communities in Nova Scotia are completing a four-stage project that will see them put more energy into the grid than they collectively use…

It's coming from four wind farm projects…

"They are generating power that's being sold back to Nova Scotia Power," said Parsons [vice-president of Beaubassin Mi'kmaq Wind Management Company]. "Each turbine can produce enough energy to carry the load for 400 homes on average." …

They use the profits to pay off project debts, and then split the money among the [indigenous] bands…

He hopes the government will create similar projects to tap into wind or tidal energy. In the meantime, Beaubassin Mi'kmaw Wind Management will seek business investors to start similar projects in the future…

"It just goes to show that collectively, working together, recognizing the efforts of all people that live in Atlantic Canada — and the Mi'kmaq in particular — we are contributors to the economy," [Parsons said].
