Évaluation systèmes énergétiques distribués autochtones Nouveau-Brunswick
The document examines the role of distributed energy systems (DES) in enhancing energy sovereignty for First Nations in New Brunswick. It highlights the Amlamgog (Fort Folly) First Nation's progress in solar energy and energy efficiency, while arguing that New Brunswick's highly regulated electricity market—dominated by NB Power—creates significant obstacles to the large-scale adoption of community-led DES. The report recommends creating a 'regulatory sandbox' and updating the Electricity Act to allow for more flexible energy production and retail models, citing successful Indigenous-led projects in Yukon, British Columbia, and Alberta as models for transition.
