Description

President and CEO Ernest Douglas of Qulliq Energy Corporation discusses with host Francis Bradley the difficulties of supplying electricity in Nunavut’s 25 diesel-powered microgrids. He outlines the company's shift toward renewable energy through upcoming solar, wind, and hydro projects, and highlights challenges like logistics, local involvement, and housing shortages. Douglas stresses the need for innovative solutions, such as perhaps one-day small modular reactors, to reduce diesel dependence and environmental impact. The discussion ends with a book suggestion.
