  • Nunavut Energy Market Profile Measuring the Costs and Benefits of Energy Transitions
    University of Alberta Future Energy Systems Nunavut Energy Market Profile Measuring the Costs and Benefits of Energy Transitions Elizabeth Dowdell and Sonak Patel 8-23-2018 Context As of 2016, Nunavut had less than 1 MW of renewable capacity and generated <0.1 GWh of renewable electricity. The territory is dependant almost entirely on diesel generators for both electricity and heat (NEB, 2018a). Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC), the publicly-owned territorial utility provider responsible for generation, transmission and distribution, is hoping to change this by investing in research and development of solar, wind and biomass generation, with pilot projects dating back to the early 1990s (NEB, 2018b). Demographics 2016 Census Profile • Population: 35,944 (12.7% increase since 2011) • Average age: 27.7 • Working age distribution: 22,895 • Private dwellings: 11,433 • Private dwellings occupied by usual residents: 9,819 Statistics Canada (2016). Census profile. Consumption & Trade As of 2015, the per capita electricity consumption in Nunavut was 5.1 MWh, which is the lowest in Canada, 65% less than the national average. Nunavut also has the highest electricity rates in Canada, accounting for the high cost of fuel transportation, at $319 per 1,000 kWh (NEB, 2018c). Because there are no regional or territorial grids in the territory, there is no trade within Nunavut nor with other provinces and territories. No transmission lines connect the territory with adjacent provinces or territories, although a power line to Manitoba has been proposed (NEB, 2018c) Energy Generation Regulations Nunavut launched a Net Metering policy in 2018 which allows residential and up to one municipal corporation customer to subscribe in each community, to a maximum generation of 10 kW per customer, in return for credit on their account (QEC, nda).

  • GN Releases Inuit Employment Plans to 2023
    News Release For Immediate Release GN releases Inuit Employment Plans to 2023 Iqaluit, Nunavut (March 3, 2020) – The Government of Nunavut (GN) today released the government-wide Master Inuit Employment Plan and detailed Inuit Employment Plans (IEPs) for all GN departments, Nunavut Arctic College, Nunavut Housing Corporation, and Qulliq Energy Corporation. All plans are in place until 2023. “These IEPs will help the GN meet our obligations under Article 23 of the Nunavut Agreement and facilitate the creation of a skilled, truly representative public service workforce, in a welcoming and respectful workplace,” said Minister of Human Resources Lorne Kusugak. The territorial public service more than doubled in size over the past 20 years. The number of Inuit employed in the public service has also more than doubled during this period of growth from 918 in March 2000 to 1843 in December 2019. IEPs were developed using data from the Nunavut Inuit Labour Force Analysis and an analysis of the GN’s workforce. IEPs outline opportunities and challenges in Inuit employment and include goals and action plans to 2023. Training, education and career development initiatives to help Inuit employees and casual workers develop their skills and follow a desired career path in the public service are also included. The GN has maintained multi-year, government-wide IEPs since Nunavut was created in 1999. These detailed, multi-year IEPs build on that work, to create more comprehensive, specific plans. Annual goals and priorities for action continue to be included in the annual IEPs in the GN’s business plans. This is the first time departments and territorial corporations have also prepared multi-year IEPs.
