Bringing sustainable energy and broadband access to remote Indigenous communities
The proposed Kivalliq Hydro-Fibre Link involves the construction of a new 1,200-kilometre, 150-megawatt transmission line with fibre-optic cabling to Nunavut from Manitoba.
Fast facts
This project would bring renewable, sustainable and reliable hydroelectricity to modernize electricity systems and potentially reduce reliance on diesel power generation while supporting the economic interest of Indigenous Peoples in remote communities. The Link would bring broadband connectivity to the region for the first time, enhancing telecommunications services for residents, businesses and for public service delivery.
