The NWT Energy Partnership Table is a multi-stakeholder forum where information is shared, and resources are pooled to tackle energy transition.
Join the Partnership Table and subscribe to the Members’ Bulletin to keep track of the ever-changing NWT energy landscape:
• New funding and/or deadlines for your NWT energy priorities, ideas, and projects.
• Energy-related events, including Partnership Table meetings.
• Tools and resources.
The NWTAC contributes to the collaborative effective action by facilitating the Energy Partnership Table and providing pathfinding services for collaborative energy projects.
Energy Table Talks
