A private company is pledging to build Yukon's biggest solar project to date. Yukon Energy, the territory's supplier of power, also pledged on Monday to buy electricity from the solar farm for 25 years. (Philippe Morin/CBC)The company is planning to build the solar farm on what it described as private property alongside the North Klondike Highway. That is partly because Yukon Energy has pledged to buy the electricity at a guaranteed rate for 25 years. The largest solar project currently in Yukon is in Old Crow, and is operated by the Vuntut Gwitchin government.
