Northland Utilities utilizes waste heat from its Wekweti and Trout Lake diesel plants to heat local buildings, and is investigating similar opportunities with its Dory Point and Fort Providence plants.

Our web site was updated in 2009 (www.northlandutilities.com) and continues to help customers learn about energy management by touring the interactive “Power House.” Customers can also access information at their local service office, through bill inserts and tips printed in community newspapers.

Northland Utilities is a member of the Arctic Energy Alliance (AEA), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping northerners reduce energy use. In 2009, Northland continued its partnership with the AEA in the EnerGuide for Houses program, which offers customers an energy audit service for a nominal fee.

Northland Utilities is also a member of the Community Energy Planning group. Led by the City of Yellowknife, the group is developing a comprehensive plan to reduce energy usage in the community.
