The draft NWT 2030 Energy Strategy has been released for public comment. The GNWT is currently in the process of developing a short and long term action plan to integrate into the Strategy.

 

Next Steps:

 

Both the Energy Strategy and Action Plan will be finalized and released in the early 2018.

 

Accomplishments to Date:

 

  • Draft 2030 Energy Strategy Released for comment 2017 Q3.

  • Regional consultation meetings - 2016 Q4, 2017 Q1.

  • Energy Strategy public discussion guide published - 2016 Q3.

 

Background:

 

INF was mandated to develop a new three year Energy Action Plan. Based on stakeholder discussions an over-arching Energy Strategy that considers the strategic approach to energy over the next ten years has been developed first. The Strategy confirms the principles and policy framework that underpin the GNWT approach to energy. The action plan is being developed in accordance with the goals and objectives of the Strategy.

 

Links to Other Government Activities:

 

This work will be closely linked to the development of the Climate Change Strategic Framework being developed by ENR and included joint public engagement sessions commencing in the fall of 2016 and ending in the spring of 2017.
