Qulliq Energy Corporation is Nunavut's territorial electrical utility, providing power to communities across the territory. Without road connections enabling natural gas pipelines or transmission lines, most Nunavut communities rely on diesel generators for electricity. Fuel must be shipped in during the brief ice-free season, stored in tank farms, and burned year-round. This makes Nunavut's electricity among the most expensive in Canada and creates significant greenhouse gas emissions. Qulliq Energy is exploring renewable alternatives including solar, wind, and small-scale hydro, but the extreme climate, small loads, and remoteness create challenges. Electricity costs significantly impact all aspects of life and business in Nunavut.
