Qulliq Energy Corporation
Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) is entrusted to provide safe, reliable power to all customers in Nunavut. Owned by the Government of Nunavut and operated as an arms-length territorial corporation, QEC is the sole provider of electricity and district heating in Nunavut. In comparison to other utilities in Canada, QEC faces unique challenges as it operates 25 stand-alone diesel power generation facilities and distribution systems located in each of the territory’s communities.
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.
Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to inform the residents of Arctic Bay that there will be planned, intermittent power outages in the community on Saturday, December 11, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. The power outages are expected to affect the entire community for short periods of time over the two-hour duration.
The outage is required to safely connect the new power plant to the community’s existing distribution grid.
QEC thanks residents for their understanding and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
