West Kootenay Power & Light Building and Systems Solar

This building is an icon of the Crowsnest Highway. It was decommissioned as a substation in the late 90’s. Since then it has been sitting idle with only a few improvements over the decades. It is now being leased by Systems Solar in a deal that will assist the stakeholders of the building to see it utilized as more than just its aging shell.

The goal of Systems Solar is to take the three sections of the building and give them each their own distinct characters. The front section will be a renewable energy business incubator. The centre section will be part of the museum, as well as a film set (very Frankenstein’s lab), and its acoustics will make it a very amazing music recording studio.

There will be a site visit this week Wednesday March 4th, 2020 between 4 and 5 PM. If you wish to attend please email: KPLB@systems-solar.com
