An energy transition is taking shape in remote communities across Canada. This transition comes with a number of important decisions regarding the programs, initiatives, and projects that will work best to support communities in reaching their energy goals – especially as they relate to diesel reduction.
This introductory guide is designed to support remote community energy leaders who are on that path and are supporting their community in the decision-making process. The guide provides some basic insight into the differences between two common renewable energy options for diesel reduction on remote microgrids: net-metering and Independent Power Producer projects.
Here’s what you’ll find in the guide:
- Definitions on net-metering and Independent Power Producer projects
- An overview of the differences, benefits, and challenges with each
- Information about how to make the choice between either type of project
This resource is part of the Demystifying Diesel Reduction series, a set of introductory guides that will give you the information you need to help get clean energy working for you.
