Nunavut
Energy Management Program

Welcome to the Department of Community and Government Services (CGS) Energy Management Website.

Community and Government Services (CGS) works in partnership with community governments and assists them in building their capacity so that they can meet the needs of their residents. We provide programs and funding that support core municipal operation, infrastructure development, and land development.

With the rising cost of energy in the Canadian North, energy and the use of clean domestic renewable energy are an important part of Nunavut’s future. Our energy efficiency target is 20% in our owned buildings. Our strategy is to successfully retrofit our buildings in Iqaluit with innovative energy efficiency and renewable energy systems: successes, which can be replicated in other northern communities.

This website outlines how the CGC is working to achieve its energy efficiency goals, as well as providing information on how the our building occupants can incorporate energy efficient behaviour into their everyday routine at work, at home and on the road.
