IQALUIT, Nunavut (April 3, 2024) – Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) has applied for a fuel rider of 3.70 cents per kilowatt hour for the period of April 1 to September 30, 2024. The application was submitted to the Honourable John Main, Minister responsible for QEC, who will seek recommendations from the territory’s Utility Rates Review Council.

“The requested fuel rider is related to the increase in territorial fuel prices announced in January,” said Mr. Main.

Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) would like to advise residents of Rankin Inlet to conserve power for the next two weeks. Emergency repairs are being made to the generator engines and we are asking for the community’s assistance to ensure a reliable power supply during this period.

Effective energy conservation includes lowering thermostats to 20 degrees C and only using high-energy appliances (stoves, ovens, washers and dryers) after 7p.m.

QEC thanks residents for their understanding and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
