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