Abstract
We provide comments to the Renewable Electricity Panel of Yukon Government and Yukon Energy Corp. as they prepare advice on options for providing renewable electricity within Yukon’s future system of energy supply. We recommend that instead of considering large-scale hydroelectric projects, further exploration, careful watershed based planning, and hopefully development of small-scale
hydroelectric development. In addition, we recommend that biomass energy be dropped from the government’s priorities,
and that the equivalent resources be directed instead towards development of energy from renewables that are more aptly described as “low carbon”.
