At Yukon Energy, it’s our job to supply the electricity Yukoners need when and where they need it. Our ability to keep the lights on is especially important during Yukon’s cold and dark winters when demand for electricity is the highest.
We’re always planning for cold weather, emergencies and increased demands for electricity. That’s why we rent diesel generators each year as our insurance policy against prolonged power outages until we can build more dependable renewable resources.
This past winter (2024/2025), we rented 22 portable diesel generators. Ten of the rental diesel generators were installed in our Whitehorse parking lot, seven in Faro and five in Mayo.
