Mission: Partnerships A Socially Responsible Approach for New Hydro-electric Developments

摘要

Worldwide there is a desire for clean, secure and renewable energy developed in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. In the Canadian province of Manitoba, where water is an abundant resource, efforts are being undertaken by Manitoba Hydro to achieve this goal through the development of new hydro-electric generating stations in partnership with Aboriginal (indigenous) communities. This paper focuses on the lessons learned by Manitoba Hydro in developing and implementing partnership agreements with northern Aboriginal communities on two new hydro-electric generation projects - the Wuskwatim Generation Project and the Keeyask Generation Project.
