Massive solar project proposed at Brockville Airport sparks public meeting

The meeting is scheduled for September 4th

A new renewable energy project could soon rise at the Brockville 1000 Islands Regional Tackaberry Airport.

Alectra Energy Solutions, in partnership with Kruger Energy, is proposing a five megawatt solar facility as part of Ontario’s Long-Term Energy Procurement Process. 

If approved, the project would boost electricity capacity on the provincial grid and support long-term energy needs.

Both companies are Canadian-owned and currently operate more than 100 solar sites across Canada and the United States.

The City of Brockville operates the airport, which is located in Elizabethtown-Kitley. 

A joint community engagement meeting will take place for residents of both municipalities.

The session is set for Thursday, September 4, 2025, from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Elizabethtown-Kitley Council Chambers, 6544 New Dublin Road.

Residents can ask questions and provide feedback on the proposal before the project moves forward.
