Construction of the new power plant will mean employment for around 30 workers.<br />
Last August 1, Hydro-Québec started the construction of a new state-ofthe-art<br />
diesel power plant in Akulivik. The new power plant will be located on<br />
an elevated site in an industrial area, which was chosen in partnership with<br />
representatives of the Qekeirriaq Landholding Corporation and the Northern<br />
Village of Akulivik. The site is located on rocky terrain to help lessen the impact<br />
on wildlife and the environment. Avataq also carried out an archaeological<br />
inventory to identify archaeological evidence in and around the area. They did<br />
not find any important archaeological sites on this spot, but it is near a known<br />
archaeological site that will be preserved.<br />
The $49.4-million project will mean close to 30 workers will be on the jobsite.<br />
Hopefully some of their meaningful jobs will be for Inuit. Hydro-Québec<br />
also granted a $1-million contract to <strong>Makivik</strong> to build the access road, do earthwork<br />
and produce granular material for the construction of the new power<br />
plant. A joint Hydro-Québec / <strong>Makivik</strong> Corporation press release quotes Jobie<br />
Tukkiapik as saying, “We are pleased that Hydro-Québec is relying on our<br />
<strong>Makivik</strong> Construction Division for Phase 1 of the work. We trust this experience<br />
will be successful and lead the way to future projects.”<br />
Their new, more powerful generating sets will reduce fuel consumption<br />
and greenhouse gas emissions and, being further from Akulivik homes than<br />
their present power plat, it won’t be so noisy for residents. Additionally, the<br />
power plant chimneys are designed to ensure they won’t be a loud and the<br />
smoke will be less visible. It will be able to recover heat given off by the generating<br />
sets, which will then be used to heat the plant, and LED (“light emitting<br />
diode”) lighting will also help decrease the building’s energy consumption.<br />
