Klondike Development Organization invites you to join us for a renewable energy forum, right here in Dawson City:
Time: 7:00 to 9:00 PM
Location: Downtown Hotel Conference Room
Guest presenters: Energy Solutions Centre, Sow’s Ear Renewable Energy, and possibly other surprise guests as well.

The forum will include presentations from sector experts from government and private sector, as well as public discussion. We’ll find out more about useful government programs (Micro Generation, Good Energy Residential Incentives, Rural Electrification) and their potential locally, plus discuss practical solar, wind and other projects and their results in a Yukon Context.

Objectives:

Provide information about:

•  opportunities to offset their electrical consumption and/or sell excess energy they produce through renewable technologies to the grid.

•  opportunities to offset costs of constructing super-insulated structures and/or costs of renovating to higher energy standards.

•  ways to facilitate the extension of electrical services to rural residential, small load commercial and other non-industrial property outside incorporated communities

• taking steps towards:
– Reducing the long-term consumer costs of power generation
– Increasing the amount of money staying in the local economy
– Increasing self-sufficiency of the community & local economy
– Contributing to growing electrical needs of the territory

KDO partnership forums aim to gather different perspectives on a subject in one room to:

  • communicate accurate information
  • foster new/better understanding
