Objective(s): To determine the extent to which existing policy supports for energy system change are the most appropriate ones to help foster potential change at the community level in the subarctic regions.
Project Description: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.4445. The goals of this project are: 1) to determine the extent to which changes are occurring with respect to electricity generation and use at the community level in three communities in NWT; 2) to determine how, what and who is involved in the governance of energy within communities and how this is evolving; and 3) to determine whether or not there are links between energy system change and these evolving governance structures. This research will help determine the extent to which existing policy supports for energy system change, such as conventional support for innovation (e.g. tax credits and financial assistance to help spur demand) are the most appropriate ones to help foster energy system change in the electricity sector at the community level in the Canadian Arctic and subarctic regions. This research will conduct in depth analyses of t... Show more
