Sunny days ahead for Ottawa solar projects as 4 get council's go-ahead
Still need final approval from province, however

Four solar panel projects in Ottawa have received the go-ahead from city council, and experts and advocates believe more could soon follow.

"Nothing is more important right now than energy. We talk about how energy is the new gold," said Kanata North Coun. Cathy Curry, whose ward could house two of the new projects.

At its meeting on Oct. 8, city council gave approval — known as municipal support confirmation (MSC) — to two solar energy projects in Kanata North and two more in West Carleton-March.

That comes after the city hit pause on new renewable energy facilities over the summer.

The Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), the organization that manages Ontario's electricity system, requires developers to have MSCs before submitting a provincial procurement proposal.

The four projects which got an MSC from council on Oct. 8 were:

  • The Dunrobin Solar Project, located on Dunrobin Road and on two properties without addresses.
  • The Carp Airport Solar Project at 1500 Thomas Argue Rd.
  • Kanata Solar I at 375 March Valley Rd. and 940 Klondike Rd.
  • Kanata Solar II at 915 Klondike Rd.


They all still need to be approved at the provincial level before they become a reality.

I've had the same issue looking for actual building elevations, and most sites aren't super helpful. I finally found some proper elevation and section PDFs for European developments through https://www.raylyst.eu — they're usually buried deep in planning documents, but this site collects them cleanly. It's been a big help for getting accurate height info and diagrams without needing to trawl every city council site individually.
