Whitehorse, YT and Baker Lake, NT — Northern Energy Capital (NEC), today announces that it has launched their wind resource assessment and capacity building program in Baker Lake, Nunavut with key partners Sakku Investments Corporation (SIC), Nunasi Corporation (NC), and Peter’s Expediting Limited (PEL). NEC’s cold climate renewable energy research will increase understanding and proof of use for key technologies. This research program will, in turn, increase access to clean energy solutions to additional remote locations across the vast remote Canadian market. This project is funded by the Government of Canada.
“For NEC this is another key milestone in our strategic approach to building a truly sustainable energy system in Canada and a very important step forward for our partners and NEC,” explained President and CEO Malek Tawashy. “This deployment provides the community with incredibly detailed and site-specific environmental data aimed at deploying the most advanced cold climate renewable energy technology to reduce diesel consumption, as well as training and development opportunities that build local capacity in the communities in which we operate. Ultimately, this allows us to collaborate with and serve our customers in these remote regions more effectively.”
This research initiative follows on from NEC’s recently announced collaboration with Sakku Investments Corporation, Nunasi Corporation, and industry partners, EWT, in which the companies are all committed to exploring future research and development opportunities to continue to lead the industry to address the untenable cost of diesel and the glaringly evident negative effects of climate change. Through initiatives like this one, NEC is playing a leading role in Canada’s sustainable future.
