The Pembina Institute is providing these recommendations based on Qulliq Energy Corporation’s (QEC) intention to develop an independent power producer (IPP) policy that will allow for community-led renewable energy projects in Nunavut’s 25 remote communities. In summary:
- A well-designed IPP policy in Nunavut would create valuable opportunities for Indigenous communities and project proponents in developing renewable energy projects.
- Competitive rates, data availability, transparency, and a streamlined contract process are key factors in the success of community-led renewable energy projects.
- QEC can learn from leading jurisdictions and communities in the design of their IPP policy.
