In 2021, Tarquti’s team installed a wind measurement tower in collaboration with the Tuvaaluk Landholding Corporation to undertake a wind resource assessment and evaluate the region’s wind potential. Given the significant interest of some of its members, the community decided to initiate environmental impact study that include bird and bat assessments, and geo-tech and geomatic studies for a potential wind turbine project.

In 2018, Quaqtaq collaborated directly with Hydro-Québec to put into service the first ground-mount system in Nunavik, involving the installation of 69 solar panels. The photovoltaic modules’ generates 2% of the total energy produced by the thermal generating station that powers the community. This new technology aims to reduce fuel consumption by 5,000 litres a year, leading to substantial environmental and economic benefits.
