Indigenous leadership will be the maker and the mark of a modernized Canadian electricity system
Canada needs more electricity to grow. That power will be generated on and transmitted through Indigenous territories. With Indigenous leadership, we can build the smartest, smoothest, and soundest path to a mature electricity system that benefits all communities for generations to come.
Our mission
Indigenous Power Coalition’s mission is to advance economic reconciliation by flipping the conventional script on Indigenous project involvement from consulted Rights-holders to project proponents and leaders.
Shifting this power dynamic in the electricity sector will not only open the door for increased Indigenous equity and ownership, it will also increase autonomy over decision-making including who partners in a project and how a project gets built.
Our approach
Indigenous Power Coalition plays two key roles.
Identifying potential projects and convening Nations around clean electricity infrastructure opportunities, creating the the collaborative space for coalition building.
Supporting informed decision-making by bringing technical, legal and financial expertise to the table to provide Nations with decision-useful information about benefits and risk.
“The electricity sector is an essential venue for economic reconciliation. Indigenous leadership needs to be understood as the new table stakes for project development.”
