A wind project on Yinka Dene territory
The Ni Ti Mountain Wind Project is an Indigenous community-led initiative on Yinka Dene territory, near Fraser Lake, BC. Majority-owned by Stellat’en First Nation and Nadleh Whut’en collectively and developed in partnership with Innergex, the project will generate clean, renewable electricity while bringing long-term benefits and opportunities to the community.
This partnership is grounded in mutual respect and shared intent to design, build, and operate a renewable energy project that reflects both Indigenous knowledge and industry best practices. The Ni Ti Mountain Wind Project consists of approximately 35 wind turbines (contributing up to 200 MW of electricity) and supporting infrastructure including collector lines, an on-site substation and operations and maintenance facility, and an approximately 23 km long 230kV transmission line connecting to BC Hydro’s Glenannan Substation.
Did you know?
The name Ni Ti, means “Road to the North,” in the Dakelh language. The project logo tells a similar story: it was created through a community contest and inspired by pictographs found in the Fraser Lake area. The logo proudly includes the words Ni Ti in Dakelh syllabics, grounding the project in local culture and history.
Highlights of the project
Up to 200 MW of Capacity
The project will produce renewable electricity, enough to power over 35,000 households.
Long-Term Local Benefits
With an initial operating term of 30 years, the project promotes sustainable economic growth by creating local job and procurement opportunities during construction and operations.
Commitment to Economic Reconciliation
The project advances economic reconciliation through majority Indigenous ownership by Stellat’en First Nation and Nadleh Whut’en supporting long term revenues, job creation, and community development.
Impact Assessment
The project carefully considers the site archaeological, cultural, and environmental features, while aiming to minimize land disturbance.
Wind Resource and Infrastructure
Approximately 35 wind turbines and a 23 km 230 kV transmission line, supported by over 10 years of wind data, ensuring efficient and reliable renewable energy production.
Indigenous Governance
Indigenous‑led governance integrates Indigenous values into environmental design, permitting, and land use, through the Yinka Dene Ecological and Cultural Rights Based Assessment, advancing stewardship, cultural preservation, and Indigenous‑led decision‑making.
