Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge in Canada has revealed its new solar energy and battery microgrid system, the largest solar project on Vancouver Island. The CAD$4.2million installation is now fully functioning and working to enable the luxury camp to operate in a significantly more sustainable way. The new system is enough to keep the luxury outpost – with its 25 tented guest pavilions, restaurant and bar, spa and experiences hub – running to a large extent off-grid, or at least at a greatly reduced reliance on the diesel generator which had traditionally fuelled the property’s power needs.

Baillie Lodges’ new-look Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge on Canada’s Vancouver Island has reopened following an extended seasonal closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The imposed hibernation offered an opportunity for an AU$2 million makeover of the property.

Baillie Lodges has expanded its Australian portfolio of luxury tourism assets abroad with the addition of Clayoquot Wilderness Resort on Vancouver Island, Canada.
