Many communities in the North are reliant on diesel for electricity.
Here's a look at how power is generated and transmitted in the territories and how they plan to move away from fossil fuels:The territory does not have emissions reduction targets but renewable energy projects are underway.
Quilliq Energy Corporation is owned by the Nunavut government and is responsible for power generation, transmission and distribution. It has a net metering program that allows residents and municipalities to receive energy credits for surplus renewable energy. It also recently started an independent power producer program.
N.W.T. gets power from hydro, petroleum, natural gas and wind. Eight communities are served by two hydro grids with diesel back up, while 25 rely mainly on diesel. The territory's most ambitious energy enterprise is the proposed Taltson Hydroelectricity Expansion Project, expected to cost more than $1 billion. It would add capacity to the Taltson hydroelectric system and connect the territory's two hydro grids. It aims to encourage mining in the eastern part of the territory and connect the N.W.T. grid to the southern electrical grid in the long term.
