AQPER 2026 | Discussing Successful Indigenous Participation in Renewable Energy Projects

Press Release

February 18, 2026

At this year’s Association québécoise de la production d’énergie renouvelable (AQPER) conference, we were proud to sponsor and participate in this important plenary session.

The discussion focused on what it actually takes for Indigenous participation in renewable energy to work in practice. Ownership. Access to capital. Fair risk sharing. Governance that reflects our communities.

For the Mi’gmawei Mawiomi Business Corporation, participation means being at the table as decision makers and partners, not observers.

Thank you to the panellists for a strong and honest conversation:

Frederic Vicaire, CEO, Mi’gmawei Mawiomi Business Corporation
Eric Doucet, Representative, Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke
Joe Lance, MBA, BAA, Tarquti Energy
Pierre Picard, Grand Chief, Wendat Nation

Conversations like this help strengthen the path forward for Indigenous leadership in renewable energy.
