Project Summary
Northern Energy Capital (NEC) on behalf of Kivalliq Alternative Energy will conduct a preliminary renewable energy study for the community of Baker Lake, Nunavut. Baker Lake currently relies on four diesel generators to meet the local electricity demand. The intent of this study is to collect wind data to assess the feasibility of a utility-scale wind energy project in order to offset the reliance on diesel energy. The study will consider the use of wind turbines and a battery energy storage system. Wind energy does not pollute the air like diesel energy production. Diesel consumption releases particulate matter and fumes causing human health problems and environmental damage. Clean wind energy will promote human and environmental health in the community. NEC will install a device to measure wind speed, direction, and frequency over a 12-month period from Fall 2022 to Fall 2023. The wind monitoring equipment will be placed on the northern boundary of Baker Lake. The non-invasive equipment occupies a small footprint and is powered by a single propane tank. The equipment operates autonomously with regular servicing performed by local contractors hired by NEC. Thank you everyone for your support in this project.
