Ground Truth Briefing: Energy Innovation in Remote Arctic Communities by The Wilson Center published on 2018-06-21T19:52:20Z Communities across the Canadian and the U.S. Arctic are diversifying their energy sources with cleaner, lower-cost, renewable options. In Canada, the government has pledged $220 million to bring renewable energy to remote and arctic communities. In Alaska, 70 of some 200 remote communities are augmenting their power grids with bio-mass, geothermal, hydro, wind, solar, and wave energy. The Wilson Center's Canada Institute and Polar Initiative discussed the energy approaches of these remote Arctic communities and how innovations are contributing to economic development and community resilience.
