This group is actively seeking alternatives to the use of fossil fuels in the North, a source of energy with a negative impact on the ecological footprint of northern regions. The costs associated with the fuel itself, and its transport, also place an economic burden on the regions. In addition, the working group is looking at several other options to meet the energy needs of Québec’s remote regions—all of them focused on new and renewable energy—in order to bolster the energy transition essential to the sustainable development of Northern Québec.
