“The Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) recent commitment to develop a net-zero emissions target by 2050 represents a critical step forward for the territory’s future energy plans and initiatives. 

“The NWT deals with a unique and longstanding mix of energy and climate challenges related to disproportionate impacts of climate change, diesel dependency for urban centers and remote communities, and vast land mass resulting in high transportation emissions. An ambitious and collaboratively determined net-zero emissions target will not only support communities and industry as they champion made-in-the-north climate solutions, it will also support the territory as it competes in a shifting global economy which increasingly prioritizes low carbon solutions that would mitigate future greenhouse gas contributions to climate change.

A net-metering solar PV system up to 10kW AC does not require a connection impact assessment, and can be developed and completed typically in less than 3 months. It protects against future inflation of the cost of electricity and the investment cost can be depreciated up to 100% in year 1. At about 10% return on invest per year, it will pay for itself multiple times over the 35 to 40 years of useful life. Targeting net-zero where possible, we develop and implement turn-key solar projects, making the process simple. Larger commercial solar systems above 10kW AC will require a connection impact assessment and typically have a longer development time frame.

A regional Climate Change Summit in 2018 resulted in the development of the Windsor Essex Climate Change Collaborative (WEC3) that brings together “community leaders, experts, regional stakeholders, and community members to move towards a low-carbon economy and improve our resilience to our changing climate”. The regional collaborative is intended to build on the foundational work of local communities.

The climate emergency declared in 2019 by the County of Essex, the City of Windsor, and others, recognized the need for robust and permanent changes, that the future climate performance must be a high priority in all decisions, and called for cooperation in reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) in the wider region.

The development of a Regional Energy Plan is the next step on this climate action journey.

Equally important as reducing emissions is the plan’s role in creating jobs and ensuring reliable and affordable sources of energy for all sectors into the future. The Essex County Regional Energy Plan will use the guiding principles of ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT, ECONOMY and RELIABILITY to establish targets and goals.

Joshua Angnakak and Nolan Kuluguqtuk went from working inside Pangnirtung’s Attagoyuk Ilisavik high school to working on top of it. The pair were hired by Green Sun Rising, a company that installed solar panels on the two-storey school in September. “We’re working with very good scenery,” Kuluguqtuk said of the view from the school’s roof, which looks straight up the Pangnirtung Fiord. “We have a bird’s-eye view.” The two lifelong Pangnirtung residents graduated from the school six years ago. They jumped at the opportunity to pick up some construction work over the summer. “This is my first time working with solar panels,” said Angnakak. “This was a great opportunity … to learn new things.”
