IQALUIT, Nunavut (November 9, 2017) – Qulliq Energy Corporation (QEC) has submitted a General Rate Application (GRA) to the Minister responsible for QEC to change the electricity rates effective April 1, 2018. QEC’s last rate adjustment was applied on May 1, 2014.

The application proposes a 7.6% average rate increase to meet QEC’s 2018-2019 revenue needs. Due to the different classes of customers and subsidy programs available to Nunavummiut, the impact of the new electricity rates on customers’ bills will vary.
