How Indigenous economic development corporations can support a just, low-carbon energy transition

Retrieved on: 
Monday, June 26, 2023

A growing number of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities are establishing economic development corporations (EDCs), of which many are involved in the renewable energy sector.

Key Points: 
  • A growing number of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities are establishing economic development corporations (EDCs), of which many are involved in the renewable energy sector.
  • The role of Indigenous EDCs in the renewable energy sector has so far been unclear.
  • Today, Indigenous communities are involved in hundreds of large renewable energy projects and thousands of small ones.

Renewable energy

    • As a business, the EDC may enter into partnerships and joint ventures, including owning renewable energy projects.
    • In partnership with the Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business, we surveyed and interviewed eight representatives of First Nation EDCs with active renewable energy projects.
    • Indigenous communities can be involved in renewable energy projects in a number of ways.

Benefits of ownership

    • These types of agreements typically offer less control and economic benefits compared to when a community has meaningful or full ownership shares in a project.
    • Although all types of governance and ownership structures will likely provide some form of economic benefits, Indigenous ownership in a renewable energy project offers more control over decision-making and community pride.

Financial risks

    • Despite the stronger benefits of ownership, our findings show Indigenous communities own few large renewable energy projects.
    • Our interviews confirmed that not every community strives for whole ownership in renewable energy projects.
    • Some interviewees pointed out that the financial risk of greater project ownership may be too high for their community to take on.
    • With the right support, more EDCs could be involved in the development of renewable energy projects.
