Yukon Energy has shortlisted four potential sites for the proposed Whitehorse Power Centres Project, a key initiative to provide reliable electricity during peak winter demand and support growth in the Whitehorse area through to 2040.
The shortlist follows a multi-stage evaluation that began with 12 potential locations for generation facilities. Eight sites were removed based on technical, environmental, and social considerations, including proximity to residential areas, existing electrical infrastructure, and potential impacts related to noise, air quality, and land use. All remaining sites are located at least one kilometre from nearby homes or businesses.
Shortlisted generation sites:
South
• Whitehorse Copper Mine
• Copper Haul Road
North
• KM 232 North Klondike Highway
• Ta’an Kwäch’än Council Deep Creek
Attend an open house to learn more about the shortlisted sites, ask questions and share your feedback. Feedback will be collected until March 13, 2026.
