Haeckel Hill-Thay T’äw Wind Energy Project
The first 100% Indigenous-owned wind energy project in northern Canada.
Project Type: Wind
Location: Whitehorse, Yukon
Capacity: 4 MW
Owned by: Eagle Hill Energy LP
Status: Commercial Operation
Completion Date: March 2024
Haeckel Hill is situated in the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory. The traditional place name for Haeckel Hill is Thay T’äw, meaning “Golden Eagle Nest” in Southern Tutchone. The project is owned by Eagle Hill Energy LP, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kwanlin Dün First Nation’s development corporation, Chu Níikwän LP.
This 4MW wind project builds upon previous research conducted by Yukon Energy in this location in the 1990s and early 2000s. It is the first of its kind to provide renewable wind energy to the remote Yukon grid as an Independent Power Producer.
Now operational, the four new turbines are set to generate enough renewable electricity to power over 650 Yukon homes annually for the next 20+ years. Over the project’s lifetime, it will produce the clean energy equivalent of 40 million litres of diesel, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lower rising carbon emissions in the Yukon.
The Project uses advanced blade heating technology to improve turbine performance in the challenging environmental conditions of the region.
