KWREC – Kuujjuaraapik-Whapmagoostui Renewable Energy Corporation

“KWREC represents our Cree-Inuit partnership in the development, construction, ownership and maintenance of the Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuaraapik Hybrid Power Plant (WKHPPP), a renewable energy component to Hydro-Quebec Distribution (HQD)’s diesel power plant that currently serves our community”

Matthew Mukash – President

The Whapmagoostui-Kuujjuarapik Hybrid Power Plant Project (WKHPPP), developed since 2011 with the collaboration of both sides of our community, will allow our twin communities to come together and collectively work toward promoting social and economic development of our twin communities, at the same time, ensuring the protection of the environment. This is important for us since both Cree and Inuit cultures and way of life are land-based.

Anthony G Ittosha – Vice-President

“There is an urgent need to stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry, dramatically reduce wasted energy, and significantly shift our power supplies from oil, coal, and natural gas to wind, solar, geothermal, and other renewable energy sources.”
