  • August 28Th, 2018 1
    AUGUST 28TH, 2018 1. INTRODUCTION On June 20th and June 21st, an important gathering took place in the Yukon. For the 127-year-old Canadian Electricity Association (CEA), it was the first Board of Directors meeting in Canada’s North. The meeting also came at an important juncture in Canadian history—one defined by the pursuit of reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and prosperity for all Canadians. On the first day, CEA, together with two of our member companies that operate in the North — Yukon Energy and ATCO — hosted a symposium addressing the energy needs of the North, in Carcross, on the traditional territory of the peoples of Carcross / Tagish First Nation. Despite this backdrop of promise and commitment, Canada’s remote and northern communities suffer from a significant level of “energy inequality”, where the cost of electricity in many communities is estimated to be over ten times higher than the Canadian average. This lack of access to affordable power has limited their economic potential and stifled the region’s economic development and prosperity. It also impacts their social fabric. Yet, within the challenge of addressing this inequality lies the opportunity for industry, Indigenous peoples, communities, and all levels of government to work in partnership to invest in clean energy, spur economic development, address environmental challenges, and power tomorrow’s low-carbon economy. That is why CEA brought leaders from industry, governments, Indigenous organizations, academia and other community leaders to Carcross for a symposium entitled, “Powering the Future: Partnering in Energy Development”, to discuss the unique challenges and opportunities that exist in Canada’s North and how we can all work together to build a cleaner, more prosperous future for all.

    Good morning, Chairman Neufeld and committee members. Thank you for the invitation to present to you on Yukon Energy’s business and the issues facing us. I will refer you to the slide presentation which I believe you have a copy of. I am now turning to slide 2. 1 I’ll address three general topics in my presentation: 1. Firstly. I’ll provide an overview of Yukon Energy, our asset profile, our recent project history, and our current status. 2. Next, I’ll discuss the options that we are focusing on for new supplies of energy 3. And finally, I’ll touch on some of the challenges that we face. After my formal remarks, I’ll be happy to take any questions that you have. Moving now to slide 3. 2 Yukon Energy is one of two regulated utilities in the Yukon. We are responsible for the majority of electricity generation in the Territory, including 3 hydro facilities and a fleet of back‐up diesel generators. We also own and operate the majority of the electrical grid in the Territory. We distribute electricity to residential and commercial customers in a few of the grid‐connected communities outside of Whitehorse, including Dawson City, Mayo and Faro. We do not serve any remote off‐grid communities. ATCO Electric Yukon is the other regulated utility in the Yukon –they distribute power to residential and commercial customers here in Whitehorse, and they also provide power to a number of off‐grid communities, including Burwash Landing, Destruction Bay, Beaver Creek, Old Crow and Watson Lake.

With this release, the government is following through on its commitment to develop a strategy to address Yukon’s energy needs, for now and for the future. The Energy Strategy is an important guide for how we produce, conserve and use energy in Yukon. It provides guidance to energy programs, to economic development in the energy sector and to energy conservation and efficiency. We use energy in almost every aspect of our lives, and because energy is so vital, it is important for Yukon to manage our energy resources in a planned and careful manner. A lot of hard work has been done over the last year by many Yukoners to put together this Strategy. Energy sector research, a public workshop and an extensive consultation process all contributed to a final Strategy that is designed for Yukon, by Yukoners.
