Renewable Energy Microgrid Integration for Remote, Off-grid Cabins in Nunavut$444Kvalue2022start2025end

To support increased infrastructure and energy demands throughout the 20th century, diesel generators were installed in all communities across Inuit Nunangat. This continues to be the case today where new power plants are being installed and/or upgraded with additional diesel fuel generators. While fossil fuels currently support nearly all heat and electricity loads across Inuit Nunangat, there is a strong desire to develop renewable energy sources to mitigate against climate change impacts and improve resiliency. Challenging crises, such as the recent contamination of Iqaluit drinking water w

Microgrid Demonstration Project$377Kvalue2026start2026end

The Iqaluit Inuit Owned Lands Microgrid Demonstration Project is being developed by Nunavut Nukkiksautit Corporation at the Aqsarniit Hotel and Conference Centre in Iqaluit, Nunavut. The hotel currently relies on utility electricity from Qulliq Energy Corporation and an oil boiler for heat. The project includes 250 kW of solar PV, a 250 kW/535 kWh battery energy storage system, and two 400 kW diesel generators integrated with an air-to-water heat pump - the first of its kind in Nunavut. Together, the system will supply 100% of the hotel’s electrical and thermal load while reducing diesel use.
