A positive impact on the climate
A MICROGRID COMMUNITY
What is a microgrid? A collection of interconnected local energy sources, including solar and battery energy storage systems, created to meet the energy needs of a specific community. These community microgrids function within a well-defined perimeter, capable of operating independently without relying on the main grid for energy supply.
The design of the microgrid aims to produce an annual energy output equivalent to the total energy consumption of the entire community.
Blue Heron Estates residents enjoy seamless access to Highway 107 and various amenities, including Porters Lake Elementary School, the Porters Lake transit terminal, Blueberry Run Trail, gas stations, grocery stores, NSLC outlets, restaurants, dentists, and medical practitioners. This ensures a well-rounded and convenient lifestyle for all.
