Diesel Facilities

For most of the year, we rely on hydro for our energy supply. In 2020, 86 per cent of the electricity we generated was with hydro. However we do use backup diesel generation during power outages, to supplement our hydro in very cold weather, and during droughts. As an isolated grid in one of the planet’s least-forgiving environments, a reliable backup system is crucial.
