Qulliq Energy Corporation hopes for federal support to cover $228M debt
Electricity bills in Nunavut have gone up as Qulliq Energy Corp. is lobbying the federal government to mitigate the rising cost of providing power in the territory.
“We don’t take any pleasure out of increasing electricity rates,” John Main, the minister responsible for Nunavut’s electricity provider, said Friday in an interview at the legislative assembly.
“Cost of living is already so high, but what this is about at the end of the day is making sure that Qulliq Energy has enough revenue to pay for our expenses.”
