Rising electricity costs is making solar power an attractive buy for some in the Rainy River district.

Pine River Solar is among local companies helping people get involved with the province's Feed-in-Tariff program.


Co-owner Jurgen Schmutz says interest is growing.

A lack of capacity has restricted the ability for more projects in the west end, but it's not prohibiting residents in Fort Frances and elsewhere from taking advantage.
