New funding allows Tarquti to plan green energy projects in more communities – Nunatsiaq News

The Quebec government is providing $7.6 million to Tarquti Energy to continue community outreach and create more green energy projects in Nunavik.
The government plans to spend $24.1 million over the next five years to reduce fossil fuel consumption in the region by at least 50 per cent.
That commitment is part of Quebec’s 2030 Plan for a Green Economy, which aims to reduce the province’s greenhouse gas emissions by 37.5 per cent by 2030.
The government gave $8 million to Tarquti, a Nunavik-owned renewable energy developer, in 2022 for the development of green energy projects in five communities. With the new money, three more communities can begin their green energy planning.
