Project Objectives

Askiy Energy Corporation aims to address the unique energy and sustainability needs of the remote community of Fort Chipewyan. Through a heartful, ongoing and planned community engagement and training process, community members will contribute to the development of a community energy plan to advance sustainable energy projects that not only benefit the environment, but are also economically feasible and bring social benefits to the local community.

Expected Results

The expected results of this project include an updated community energy plan, a set of energy forecasts for the community, and several clean energy options based on results from community engagement sessions. This project will also support the community's need for continued sustainable development work to address high energy bills, reliance on diesel, and local climate changes impacting community members.
