In Canada’s Northwest Territories, winter temperatures can drop to minus 45 degrees Celsius in the capital, Yellowknife. These extreme conditions increase electricity demand and raise the cost of remote supply lines. Officials and businesses are testing solar power to lower bills and be less dependent on fossil fuels. Supporters say long summer days in the north provide strong sunlight, which makes solar technology useful, although winters are dark. Diesel and other traditional energy sources are very important for winter reliability. The region receives a high amount of sunlight compared with many other places. There is a growing need to move away from fossil fuels, especially as climate change causes extreme weather. Local companies say that there is rising interest in solar energy. High electricity prices also support the change. Some firms test electric vehicles in these harsh conditions to prove the technology can work anywhere.
