Summary
Construction has begun on a 3,000-kilowatt wind turbine in Quaqtaq, Nunavik, marking the start of the region's clean energy transition. The project, led by Tarquti and partners, is one of two wind energy developments in Nunavik (the other in Puvirnituq). Together, they are expected to meet 60% of the two villages' electricity needs, reducing reliance on imported diesel fuel that currently powers almost the entire region.
