Qulliq Energy Corporation
Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is entrusted to provide safe, reliable power to all customers in Nunavut. Owned by the Government of Nunavut and operated as an arms-length territorial corporation, QEC is the sole provider of electricity and district heating in Nunavut. In comparison to other utilities in Canada, QEC faces unique challenges as it operates 25 stand-alone diesel power generation facilities and distribution systems located in each of the territory’s communities.
Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to inform the residents of Iqaluit that the recent power outages in the city were caused by issues with equipment control devices in the power generation system. The issues took a significant amount of time to troubleshoot as they affected multiple generator sets. The corporation’s technical staff have since repaired and replaced any necessary equipment and tested the control system for reliability.
QEC thanks residents for their understanding and apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused.
