    “It’s Our Time” Indigenous-Led Transmission Lines

    To meet growing electrification demands, Canada’s electricity grid will need to double or triple its capacity over the next two decades. This relies on widespread building of new transmission lines, reinforcement of existing ones, and the buildout of inter-regional grid connections (“interties”). Indigenous nations are already playing a central role in developing transmission infrastructure across Turtle Island. This makes sense, all key potential transmission corridors run through traditional territories of Indigenous nations; any new transmission line in Canada should only occur with the free, prior, and informed consent of the impacted Nations.
