The Drake Landing Solar Community Energy Centre will be open for tours this afternoon.

The Energy Centre will be one of 30 Alberta operations taking part in the 2017 Green Energy Doors Open (GEDO) event.

Okotokians will have an opportunity to see and learn about the first of its kind project in North America, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary.

The Drake Landing Solar Community is heated by a solar system designed to store abundant energy in the summer underground, to heat 52 homes in the neighbourhood.

Tours of the Energy Centre will run from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23.

Attendees must be 18 years of age or older to enter the Energy Centre.
