From North America’s oldest producing oil wells near Norman Wells; to the huge deposit of natural gas in the Mackenzie Delta, to the largely untapped hydroelectric potential of our legendary river ways, the Northwest Territories has enormous energy potential. (energy facts)

The Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment’s Energy Planning Division co-ordinates overall Energy policy and planning for the Government of the Northwest Territories.

The GNWT encourages and supports the development of the NWT’s energy resources in a manner that will benefit northern residents and governments, and maintains a strong commitment to the Territories' natural environment.

The Government’s energy development strategy: Energy for the Future is closely linked to the NWT Greenhouse Gas Strategy.

The Energy Facts and Energy Trends newsletters provide up-to-date information and analysis related to energy.
