WiRE Canada North
Canada's northern territories – Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut – are forging a unique path towards energy sustainability amidst a challenging landscape. Reliance on diesel is gradually giving way to innovative solutions tailored to each territory's needs and resources. Yukon is exploring hydroelectricity expansion and wind power, while promoting energy efficiency programs. The Northwest Territories, rich in natural gas, is diversifying with solar and wind initiatives, and investigating alternative energy sources like biomass. Nunavut is focusing on reducing diesel dependence through wind, solar, and hydro projects, with a strong emphasis on community-scale renewable energy solutions. These territories exemplify resilience and ingenuity in their pursuit of a cleaner energy future for Canada's North.
