The Independent Power Producer Program (IPP) allows producers outside the utility who meet the IPP program’s technical requirements and who are successful in being approved for participation in the IPP program by QEC to generate electrical power from renewable energy systems and sell it directly to QEC. Integrating renewable energy systems in the territory’s energy grid helps decrease Nunavut’s dependency on diesel fuel, enabling the corporation to reduce carbon emissions and promote energy self-reliance.
QEC will review applications to determine whether they meet the program’s technical interconnection requirements (TIR).
The corporation strongly recommends that potential participants not purchase renewable energy generating systems until their application has received official written approval by QEC.
