The Northwest Territories has some of the best potential to produce solar energy in all of Canada. The southern regions of the province possess a great capacity for solar generation, with Yellowknife outperforming the average solar generation in the province. Solar installations in Yellowknife are overall highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1095 kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW installed.
The Northwest Territories has the absolute highest electricity costs of all Canadian provinces. In the Northwest Territories the average electricity cost is 41 cents per kWh. This is more than double the Canadian average of 19.2 cents per kWh. The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar. Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates. With energy prices expected to rise, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.
Your solar system will connect to the grid in Yellowknife via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is credited by your power company for system sizes up to 15KW at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months. These built-up credits expire annually on March 31st, so it’s important to size your solar installation based on your electricity usage. The costs of electricity, abundant sunlight, and the Net-Metering program in the Northwest Territories make it one of the best places in Canada for solar.
