ITI's Energy Planning Division co-ordinates overall energy policy and planning for the Government of the Northwest Territories

On November 20-23, 2012, 125 participants from across the Northwest Territories (NWT) and Canada came together to participate in the 2012 Northwest Territories Energy Charrette, a planning process that will help inform the development of the 2013 Northwest Territories Energy Plan.

This collaborative policy development process - which featured two public sessions - was aimed at engaging energy stakeholders from the very beginning of the policy development process. Participants identified problems, proposed objectives for the Government, and made suggestions about projects, policies and programming. Nearly 50% of the event was centred on group work and dialogue at small roundtables.

The Charrette Working Group that steered the event collectively authored the Charrette Final Report, which makes recommendations to the Government of the Northwest Territories on the development of the Energy Plan.
