Haeckel Hill-Thay T’äw Wind Energy Project

Project Type: Wind
Location: Whitehorse, Yukon
Capacity: 4 MW
Owned by: Eagle Hill Energy LP
Status: Commercial Operation
Completion Date: March 2024

Ikayuut Solar and Energy Storage Project

Project Type: Solar, Battery Storage
Location: Naujaat, Nunavut
Capacity: 1.4 MW Solar + 1 MWh Battery Storage
Owned by: Kivalliq Alternative Energy
Project Status: Development
Construction Start: Spring/Summer 2024
Proposed Commercial Operation: 2026

The Ikayuut Solar and Energy Storage Project will provide 30% of Naujaat’s electricity demand with locally-produced clean energy, displacing an estimated 400,000 litres of diesel per year and reducing lifetime carbon emissions by over 30,000 tonnes. The project will also help move the community away from reliance on fossil fuel-based energy generation, and provide opportunities for local jobs and sector-specific training.

The project was named “Ikayuut” by the community of Naujaat. The name is derived from the Inuktitut word “Ikayuuti” meaning “support”.

Rankin Inlet Wind and Energy Storage Project

Project Type: Wind, Battery Storage
Location: Rankin Inlet, Nunavut
Capacity: 2-4 MW
Owned by: Kivalliq Alternative Energy
Project Status: Development
Proposed Commercial Operation: 2027

The proposed wind and energy storage project is anticipated to have the capacity to produce 30-40% of Rankin Inlet's electricity demand, displacing an estimated 2.7 million litres of diesel per year and reduce lifetime carbon emissions by over 179,000 tonnes. The project will also help move the community away from reliance on fossil fuel based energy generation, saving up to 37 million litres of diesel over its lifetime.

Wind data collected since 2018 shows consistent strong winds year-round and a significant CO2 reduction potential with a wind energy project.

Community survey data collected in 2023 shows that 95% of respondents support clean energy.

Coral Harbour Solar and Energy Storage Project

Project Type: Solar, Battery Storage
Location: Coral Harbour, Nunavut
Capacity: 1.25 MW Solar + 1 MWh Battery Storage
Owned by: Kivalliq Alternative Energy
Project Status: Development
Construction Start: Spring/Summer 2025
Proposed Commercial Operation: 2027

The Coral Harbour Solar and Energy Storage Project will provide 30% of Coral Harbour’s electricity demand with locally-produced clean energy, displacing an estimated 373,000 litres of diesel per year and reducing lifetime carbon emissions by over 23,000 tonnes. The project will also help move the community away from reliance on fossil fuel-based energy generation, and provide opportunities for local jobs and sector-specific training.

Baker Lake Wind and Energy Storage Project

Baker Lake Wind Energy Project

Project Type: Wind, Battery Storage
Location: Baker Lake, Nunavut
Capacity: 2 MW
Owned by: Kivalliq Alternative Energy
Project Status: Development
Proposed Commercial Operation: 2027

The proposed wind and energy storage project is anticipated to have the capacity to produce 30-40% of Baker Lake’s electricity demand, displacing an estimated 1.16 million litres of diesel per year and reduce lifetime carbon emissions by over 76,700 tonnes. The project will also help move the community away from reliance on fossil fuel based energy generation, saving up to 37 million litres of diesel over its lifetime.

Wind data collected since 2022 shows consistent strong winds year-round and a significant CO2 reduction potential with a wind energy project.

Community survey data collected in 2023 shows that 95% of respondents support clean energy.

Mount Sumanik Wind Capacity Project

Project Type: Wind Data Collection, Feasibility
Location: Mount Sumanik, Kwanlin Dün First Nation Territory, Yukon
Owned by: Eagle Hill Energy LP
Technology: Sonic Detection and Ranging (SoDAR) system
Project Status: Data Collection and Feasibility Studies
Wind Data Collection Period: 2023-2024
Proposed Feasibility Project Start Date: 2024

The Mount Sumanik Energy Capacity Project is an exciting new opportunity to advance wind energy in KDFN territory, which will play a significant and long-term role in the Yukon’s clean energy future.

NEC, in partnership with EHELP, launched a wind resource assessment study on Mount Sumanik in 2023. With several months of data collected, it is time to look forward to the next stage of realising this project. Focusing first on advancing design and engineering as well as the environmental (YESAB) and collaboration and visioning efforts with YEC. This phase will include: civil engineering, electrical engineering, structural engineering, surveying, geotechnical sampling. This stage will also include battery storage design philosophy.

Kluane N'tsi (Wind) Energy Project

Project Type: Wind
Location: Kluane Lake, Kluane First Nation, Yukon
Capacity: 900 kW
Partners: Kluane Community Development Corporation
Technology: Wind Turbine
Project Status: Under development.
Proposed Commercial Operation: TBD

Northern Energy Capital will provide financial services to support the development of the Yukon's first off-grid wind energy project as an Independent Power Producer. The Kluane Wind Energy Project will provide renewable energy that will help reduce the First Nation's reliance on diesel fuel to meet the energy demands of the community, and will play an important role in moving the Yukon towards its renewable energy goals, including carbon emissions reduction.

Chesterfield Inlet Wind Resource Assessment and Net-Zero Feasibility Project

Project Type: Wind Data Collection, Feasibility
Location: Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut
Owned by: Kivalliq Alternative Energy
Project Status: Data Collection
Wind Data Collection Period: 2023-2024
Proposed Feasibility Project Start Date: 2024

Introducing an innovative feasibility project exploring the potential for a 100% carbon neutral electrical system in Chesterfield Inlet. In tandem with ongoing collection of community-specific wind data and local capacity building, this shortlisted project, if approved, will research an array of clean energy solutions that will boost energy independence, eliminate community reliance on imported diesel fuels for electricity, and introduce powerful social, economic, and environmental opportunities for the Kivalliq Region

Minto Wind Energy Project

Project Type: Wind
Location: Minto Landing, Yukon
Capacity: 4MW
Partners: Selkirk First Nation (SDC) Development Corporation
Technology: Sonic Detection and Ranging (SoDAR) system; Cold climate wind turbines with advanced blade heating technology
Project Status: Under development
Proposed Commercial Operation: TBD

A landmark project which will be among the first to provide wind energy to the remote Yukon grid as an Independent Power Producer. The Minto Wind Project will provide renewable energy at a key location central to the grid, and will play an important role in moving the Yukon towards its renewable energy goals, including fossil fuel displacement and carbon emissions reduction.

Whale Cove Wind Resource Assessment Project

Project Type: Wind Data Collection
Location: Whale Cove, Nunavut
Owned by: Kivalliq Alternative Energy
Technology: Sonic Detection and Ranging (SoDAR) system
Project Status: Development
Wind Data Collection Period: 2024-2025

Introducing an innovative research and feasibility project exploring the potential for locally-produced clean energy in Whale Cove, with the goal of reducing local reliance on diesel fuel. The project will collect community-specific wind data and build local capacity to support a future wind energy project, paving the way to energy independence and a clean energy future for Whale Cove.
