The shareholders of Tarquti Energy (Tarquti), represented by their respective executive committees, met March 24 in Kuujjuaq, Nunavik, to discuss the start\u2010up strategy, on\u2010going and future activities of the company. Its mission is to carry out renewable energy projects in Nunavik and contribute to the carbon emissions\u2019 reduction and actions on climate change. <\/p>\n\n
Makivik Corporation and the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des coop\u00e9ratives du Nouveau\u2010Qu\u00e9bec (Ilagiisaq\u2010FCNQ) are pooling their expertise and resources for the benefit of the Nunavik energy transition. Their approach for the community projects is to develop, implement and operate them through solid and meaningful business partnerships with the landholding corporations and local cooperatives. <\/p>\n\n
The first Tarquti projects implemented this year include analysis and research. Des m\u00e2ts m\u00e9t\u00e9orologiques seront install\u00e9s dans cinq communaut\u00e9s du Nunavik afin de collecter des donn\u00e9es pertinentes au d\u00e9veloppement des \u00e9nergies renouvelables. At the same time, Tarquti is collaborating with research centres, including Nergica and Hydro Qu\u00e9bec, to assess the feasibility of clean energy solutions, like wind and solar power energy, in the region. <\/p>\n\n
L\u2019objectif de Tarquti est de veiller \u00e0 ce que les projets soient respectueux de l\u2019environnement et adapt\u00e9s aux besoins de chaque communaut\u00e9, tout en favorisant la cr\u00e9ation d\u2019emplois aux niveaux local et r\u00e9gional. Cette initiative vise \u00e9galement \u00e0 constituer une base de connaissances et \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper l’expertise inuite dans le domaine des \u00e9nergies renouvelables pour l’avenir de cette entreprise d\u00e9tenue \u00e0 100 % par des habitants du Nunavik.<\/p>\n\n
