Electricity Planning

AN ELECTRICITY SYSTEM WE CAN ALL COUNT ON

Demand for electricity in the Yukon is growing, and our aging, isolated grid must evolve to meet both current and future needs. Building a strong and resilient electricity system will require a clear vision and a staged approach.

Our vision for the future

BUILDING A RESILIENT AND RENEWABLE ENERGY FUTURE: YUKON ENERGY’S ROAD MAP TO 2050

Yukon Energy’s Road Map to 2050 outlines our long-term vision for creating a more resilient and renewable electricity grid. This road map serves as a framework to deliver reliable power to Yukoners for the next 25 years. The work we are undertaking will help chart the course for future large-scale renewable energy projects and emerging technologies, all aimed at supporting the Yukon’s continued growth.

Our plans for the short term

CHAPTER 1: A RELIABLE AND ROBUST GRID, 2025 TO 2030

Over the next five years, our focus will be on building a reliable, robust electricity system – one that meets the demands of every season. Key actions in this phase include infrastructure renewal, increasing winter capacity, and strengthening the transmission and distribution system. These short-term actions are crucial for laying the groundwork for a more renewable energy future. We need a strong foundation to set us up for a modern, adaptable grid capable of safely integrating the next generation of intermittent renewable energy sources.
