| Summary | The 2030 Energy Strategy outlines a plan for secure, affordable, and sustainable energy in the Northwest Territories (NWT), focusing on transportation, heating, and electricity. It prioritizes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting renewable and alternative energy, and lowering energy costs, aligning with the GNWT’s Climate Change Strategic Framework. Developed through extensive public engagement, the strategy addresses climate change, energy affordability, and the NWT’s energy potential. Its success depends on collaboration among governments, communities, businesses, and other stakeholders. By 2030, the goal is an energy system less reliant on fossil fuels, supporting the economic, social, and environmental well-being of the NWT. |
| Local Relevance | This energy strategy plan addresses the region's unique challenges and opportunities in energy and climate change. The NWT relies heavily on imported fossil fuels, which are expensive and environmentally harmful, making energy security and affordability critical issues for residents and businesses. Additionally, the NWT’s remote location, extreme climate, and dispersed communities amplify the need for sustainable, localized energy solutions. |
