AI Article Summary

The Canada Infrastructure Bank (CIB) has made its first investment in Nunavut, with a $6.7 million loan to support the Anuriqjuak Nukkiksautiit Project in Sanikiluaq. This initiative includes a 1-megawatt wind turbine and energy storage, aiming to replace 70% of the community's diesel use with renewable energy.

The investment is part of CIB's broader efforts to enhance energy security and sustainability in Canada's Far North.
