Métis wind energy project waiting for the green light

Officials with the Manitoba Métis Federation (MMF) hope to get the go-ahead in the coming months to continue plans on a $500-million wind project.To meet increasing electricity demands, Manitoba Hydro issued a call in 2024 for proposals that would boost the province’s energy generating sources.
