On Jan. 29, 2020, Eavor Yukon (Eavor) and the Carmacks Development Corporation (CDC) announced a partnership to deliver green baseload energy for the Yukon using a new technology (Eavor-Loop) that was proven last year in a field scale pilot. Eavor and CDC signed an agreement to solidify this partnership.
The Carmacks Development Corporation is wholly-owned by the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation. Chief Russell Blackjack believes this new way of generating baseload power will be significant for the Yukon. “It is a great pleasure to be working through our Development Corporation with Eavor. They have a fantastic product that we believe will revolutionize the way energy is produced here. Of particular interest to our Nation, because of Eavor’s small surface footprint, it will preserve the natural landscape of our ancestral lands for generations to come in a manner that wind, solar or hydro cannot. This, and the fact that it’s the only solution available to us that is both reliable and green, made Eavor an easy choice for us to partner with.”
“We are working in many places across the globe, but the Yukon really ticks all the boxes; heat gradient, favourable pricing and positive socioeconomic conditions. We are tremendously excited to move ahead in a jurisdiction with so much potential which is only strengthened by our local partnerships.”
