Yukon Energy Corporation is the territorial Crown corporation responsible for electricity generation and transmission in Yukon. The corporation operates hydroelectric facilities (including the Whitehorse Rapids and Aishihik generating stations), diesel generators for backup and remote communities, and the territory's transmission grid. ATCO Electric Yukon handles retail distribution to most customers. Yukon's electricity system faces challenges including small market size, long distances, and climate-related demand variations. The territory is working toward reduced diesel dependence through renewable energy development and grid improvements. Energy costs in northern territories are higher than southern Canada due to climate, remoteness, and small populations. Yukon's energy future involves balancing reliability, affordability, and environmental objectives in a challenging operating environment.
