British Columbia’s Yuquot Village Eyes Future as a Hub of Innovation in Sustainable Energy Development

Yuquot, British Columbia (BC) is set to become a hub of innovation in community building and clean energy development thanks to a wave energy project led by the Mowachaht/Muchalaht First Nation (MMFN). Funded by TD Bank Group and the Clean Energy in Rural and Remote Communities Program under Natural Resources Canada, the project aims to harness the power of North Pacific waves to support the MMFN’s goal of achieving energy self-sufficiency.

CalWave, a California-based developer of wave energy technologies, has been selected as the technology provider for the project, collaborating with various partners across Canada, including the Pacific Research Institute for Marine Energy Discovery (PRIMED), Barkley Project Group, Canpac Marine Services, and Environmental Dynamics. The project is currently in the feasibility and design stage, gathering information to help the MMFN make decisions on full implementation.

Azar Kamran, CEO of the MMFN, expressed the community’s vision for Yuquot as a center of excellence in sustainable practices and technological innovation. The village has a rich history as a trade hub and is now set to once again become a hub of innovation, setting examples for communities around the world.
