Renewable Energy in Remote Indigenous Communities

Remote Indigenous communities governed by Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation (PBCN) will be engaged in a multi-criteria geospatial evaluation. The focus of the internships is to research the factors that can constrain and enable renewable energy (RE) development in the communities. The geospatial assessment will be based on structured cartographic modelling and map overlays that are informed by community participation. The outputs of this project will constitute a pre-feasibility assessment that can be used to guide more detailed engineering and operational assessments and inform RE project development processes in the partner communities.
