FirstWind Power, Inc. (FirstWind) is a First Nations' owned company registered in the Province of B.C.

FirstWind is participating in the "greening" of Indigenous lands by unique methods, utilizing modern wind power technology for electrical power generation linked with existing power grids. These developments provide an avenue for Indian Tribes and First Nations to participate in the economic development long-term potential of the project creating both training and jobs on a local level.

There are several avenues FirstWind is able to develop greater capacity for electrical power generation using this methodology:

  • Negotiating agreements with Indian Tribes/First Nations who have the available land
    and sufficient wind resource potential to enable demonstrable wind power generation of electricity.
  • Partnering with other wind power developers to enable wind development of capacity
    that is either on Indian reserves or in Indian Tribal/First Nation traditional territories.
  • Work with smaller communities to enable development of community based wind power generation in order to alleviate the dependence upon diesel-generated electrical power.

All possible avenues are being explored in order to bring FirstWind to the forefront of wind power generation coupled with economic development using the potential of wind power generated electricity.
