QEC will estimate monthly billing for Arviat customers during the state of emergency declared by the community’s hamlet. Meter reads will not be conducted to protect the well-being of QEC staff and residents while the corporation continues to safely provide a critical service.
Estimated meter reads are calculated by using the previous month’s consumption. The estimate may be higher or lower than actual energy usage, but the difference will be corrected with the next manual meter read.
Customers are required to wear masks in QEC Customer Care offices to protect the well-being of QEC staff and Nunavut communities. Customer Care offices are located in Rankin Inlet, Baker Lake, Iqaluit and Cambridge Bay, and are currently open for regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time).
A limited number of people are allowed in Customer Care areas at one-time. All customers are asked to respect public health restrictions by remaining two meters (six feet) apart in addition to wearing a mask.
Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to remind Nunavummiut to exercise caution around power poles and power lines, especially while operating a motor vehicle (including ATVs and snow machines). Please remember the following to avoid unplanned power outages, serious injury, or death:
· Remember to keep a minimum distance of three meters from power lines.
QEC’s Customer Care offices will re-open in Baker Lake, Iqaluit and Cambridge Bay on Wednesday, December 2, for regular business hours (8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time).
QEC will delay re-opening Rankin Inlet’s Customer Care office to Monday, December 7, for regular business hours. This delay will allow the corporation to complete additional cleaning measures to help protect the well-being of QEC staff and the community.
QEC would like to inform customers that meter reads will not be conducted for November’s billing cycle in response to territory-wide COVID-19 restrictions. Protecting the well-being of QEC staff and Nunavut communities is a priority while the corporation continues to safely provide a critical service.
Electricity bills will be estimated in all communities with the exception of Iqaluit, which has smart meter technology. Smart meter technology sends information electronically, which eliminates the need for manual reads.
Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to inform the residents of Sanirajak that community-wide power outages are planned for Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22, from 8 to 11 a.m.
These power outages are required to safely upgrade the power distribution system and improve reliability for customers in the community.
QEC thanks residents for their understanding and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
