Our approach

Pekuakamiulnuatsh Takuhikan adopts a groundbreaking approach by opting for a strategy that seeks to ensure that project economic benefits remain within the communities, enabling them to define initiatives in line with their values and long-term interests. Développement PEK has been mandated to lead this strategy.

Community energy for fair benefits

The privatization of resources, which is generally more beneficial to companies than citizens, is leading to growing mistrust of energy projects. In the not-too-distant past, communities affected by projects received little in the way of compensation.

Community energy is a major tool for social and economic development. It is the way forward for Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities to ensure their long-term development, using their resources to take control of their own destiny.

Against a backdrop of increasing energy demand and the need for economic diversification in communities, Développement PEK offers public partners its experience, credibility and government-recognized expertise in community energy to carry out your energy projects.

Respect for nature and the environment

In all our projects, we demonstrate that it is possible to meet energy needs in harmony with the environment and in line with Indigenous values of respect for nature. Our team’s expertise allows us to offer solutions that reduce the long-term environmental impact of renewable energy projects.

Socially acceptable projects

In a world where sustainable development is front and centre, developing socially acceptable projects is a key factor in securing a high level of support from the populations and stakeholders involved.

Focusing on development that takes into account all aspects of sustainable development, Développement PEK proposes an approach in which the local partner and the community work together in defining and implementing the project.

At every stage, from development to construction, we rely on participation, transparent exchanges and regular communications to propose a project that is consistent with local civic values.

A partner of choice in renewable energies

With over 20 years’ experience in creating partnerships, Développement PEK offers many advantages that set it apart from private companies. As a not-for-profit organization, we provide services that maximize our partners’ financial benefits.

This formula also allows:

  • access to public financing tools usually reserved for Indigenous communities to develop infrastructure projects at better rates than conventional private institution financing;
  • the establishment of a community partnership that fosters the acquisition of knowledge and the development of local expertise that will give rise to other collaborations of this nature;
  • rigorous management of contracts that are aligned with municipal regulations and that maximize regional benefits.
