You will be eligible for the micro-generation program. Many residential properties in Yukon have a limit of 5 kilowatts for the system output. In the case of a solar photovoltaic system, that means
It should also be noted that the North Klondike IPP is not optimized for shoulder season/winter power generation. If the solar panels were installed at steeper tilt angles and the rows of solar

This new solar power project will provide a reliable and efficient source of energy for Dawson City and help tackle climate change. Canada''s Infrastructure plan invests in thousands of projects,
Although actual total generation from these solar energy systems is unavailable, the systems added a total of 2,250.8 MWh of surplus energy to Yukon’s electrical grid in 2021; 1,659.5 KWh was added in 2020.
In 2021, Yukon generated about 0.70 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity (Figure 1), which is approximately 0.1% of total Canadian generation. Yukon has an estimated generating capacity of 140 megawatts (MW). Yukon Energy Corporation is publicly owned and is the main generator and transmitter of electricity in Yukon.
Yukon Energy Corporation is publicly owned and is the main generator and transmitter of electricity in Yukon. Footnote 6 It also sells wholesale to ATCO Electric Yukon, who then distributes the power to most Yukoners. ATCO Electric Yukon, a privately owned company, also contributes some power generation.
Yukon's Energy Minister John Streicker says that longer-term seasonal storage of power is like the "Holy Grail" for the territory. That would allow the territory to take full advantage of its solar energy. "Solar is great, but it's mostly in the summer. And that's when we have a lot of hydro, excess hydro," Streicker said.
Microgeneration projects that have already been approved or built are not affected. Paul Murchison, vice president of engineering and capital projects for Yukon Energy, says the concern is keeping the power grid stable during the summer months when solar generation is at its peak, but demand for power is not.
