The proposed Sanirajak MET Tower Project (the Project) is led by Nunavut Nukkiksautiit Corporation (NNC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Qikiqtaaluk Corporation (QC), the Regional Inuit Development Corporation for the Qikiqtani Region. NNC is a 100 percent Inuit owned clean energy developer established in 2018.The proposed Project is located approximately 6km away from the nearest community of Sanirajak and includes the installation of a temporary meteorological tower (MET tower), collecting wind data for a period of 18-24 months, periodic site visits for tower maintenance, and dismantling and removing of mast and all materials/equipment from the site at the end of the project duration. The MET tower is comprised of a 15cm diameter metal pole mast extending 34m high on a 2ft x 2ft base structure and will be supported by guy wires anchored about 20m from the base in four directions. The guy wires will be anchored to either permafrost or bedrock depending on the ground conditions. The MET tower is necessary to support several wind monitoring instruments. The data from the instruments will be collected vis satellite iPack. Site personnel will be visiting the mast if/when maintenance is required. The tower and all supporting equipment will be completely dismantled at the end of the monitoring period, and everything will be removed from the site. The MET tower will be transported to Sanirajak by sealift. Access to the site is over the land by snowmobile in the winter and by ATV in the summer. The purpose of this project is to collect wind data to assess the potential for wind energy generation. There is no intrusive or extensive on-site research for this project. The method for collecting wind data will be through the instrumentation supported on the MET tower. The instruments will gather continuous data that will periodically generate and send reports via satellite. Due to the nonintrusive nature of this project, detailed mitigation plans are not required. The purpose of collecting wind data is to assess and validate the wind resource in Sanirajak for potential wind energy generation. Currently, at this initial phase, there are no long-term developments planned. Depending on the outcome of this initial phase, any future proposed developments will go through the NPC and NIRB proposed project application process as well as full community and stakeholder consultations.Alternative locations were presented in a community consultation on November 23rd, 2022, and it was amicable between all parties that the site selected was the more favorable and recommended selection. The NNC received a Support Letter from the Hamlet of Sanirajak and the Hunter and Trapper Association fully supporting the Project.The proposed start date for construction of the Project is August 1, 2023 and should take approximately 7 days to complete. The period of operation will run for approximately 18-24 months. The tower and its supporting equipment will be decommissioned at the end of this period and be completely dismantled and removed from the site.
