2021 Summary:
This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5158.
The goal of this project is to verify that wind LiDaR technology has reached a suitable maturity that it can be used in place of a meteorological tower to perform wind resource assessment in subarctic and arctic conditions.
The study will use an existing NRG 60m Meteorological tower located in Norman Wells, and a ...

2018 Summary:
The objective of this wind monitoring proposal is to continue to measure the wind energy potential at CN Hill (approximately 130 km from Yellowknife) until the site is next serviced and the equipment removed. This is part of an alternative energy study for the Yellowknife area. Wind data will be collected using instruments that measure wind speed, direction, and temperature. Sensors are already in...

Summary:
Geotechnical investigations are proposed to identify the depth of bedrock and other materials underlying the permafrost onsite. The results of the geotechnical investigations will be used to determine the access route, the project location, and the turbine installation technique.
This activity will include drilling of boreholes and collection of samples for testing. Thirteen boreholes are plann...
