QEC will estimate monthly billing for customers in Cambridge Bay, Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake, Qikiqtarjuaq and Arviat for the December 1 to 31 billing period. Meter reads will not be conducted to protect the well-being of QEC staff and residents while the corporation continues to safely provide a critical service.

Estimated meter reads are calculated by using the previous month’s consumption. The estimate may be higher or lower than actual energy usage, but the difference will be corrected with the next manual meter read.

Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is encouraging the public to provide feedback on the corporation’s proposed power plant replacement projects in Kugaaruk and Chesterfield Inlet.  

The corporation has applied to the Minister responsible for QEC to approve these major projects. Nunavut’s Utility Rates Review Council, an independent advisory body, will review public feedback and provide advice on the application to the Minister responsible for QEC.  

Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to inform Nunavummiut that Customer Care offices across the territory will be closed until further notice. 

The corporation is committed to the delivery of safe and reliable electricity to all Nunavummiut while helping to limit the spread of COVID-19 in our communities. QEC will continue to meet the ongoing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
