Rio Tinto’s Diavik Diamond Mine has completed installation of its 3.5 MW, 6,620 panel solar power plant in Canada’s Northwest Territories.
Construction began in February, contracted to Whitehorse-based Solvest, and the Indigenous-owned Tłıchǫ Investment, with support from Diavik.
The facility is set to provide 25% of Diavik’s electricity during closure work, with commercial production expected to end in 2026 and closure to run until 2029. The facility is equipped with bi-facial panels.
“The largest off-grid solar power plant in Canada’s North is our latest commitment to the environment we live and work in, and will improve the energy efficiency of our operations at Diavik,” says Matthew Breen, COO of Diavik Diamond Mine. “We are proud to lead the way for large-scale renewable energy projects in Canada’s North.”
The project was supported by funding from the Government of the Northwest Territories’ Large Emitters GHG Reducing Investment Grant Program.

Virtually all top-ranking retired military brass view Trump as shown at left. On top of that, Hegseth has publicly fired all current generals and admirals who are not loyal to Trump, as the entire world watched the purge.
Doesn’t this affect the way the psychopath’s command of our nation is ultimately determined?
Keep in mind that “removing Trump from office” and “stop talking about Trump” are two different events.
It’s quite possible that a Democrat-controlled congress could remove him from power within the coming months. But think about the damage he’s done to our nation and the path to repair it. Think about the war, the trade deals, the economic policies, our relationships with our allies, the racism, our erstwhile position as leader in world democracy, and the degradation in public health, education, and environmental responsibility.
We’ll be talking about Trump as long as an organized human civilization is functioning on this planet.
