Towards feasible clean energy projects on Indigenous island communities

On decolonizing clean energy production in Haida Gwaii, British Columbia

Published June 2, 2023 by

Overview

Haida Gwaii's diesel-reliant off-grid power system has been left out of BC's clean energy push. We examine three possible paths for developing clean energy on the archipelago, ownership by BC Hydro, ownership by the Haida, or a mixed model, weighing each against legal, financial, and environmental considerations, including the province's commitments under UNDRIP and the TRC's Calls to Action. We find that a mixed ownership approach offers the most promising path forward, better aligning Haida Gwaii's clean energy future with both reconciliation and reliability.
