Power for Resilient Communities
NOMAD delivers safe, reliable, on-demand energy, empowering First Nations and Indigenous communities to reduce or eliminate dependence on costly fossil fuels. By integrating seamlessly with renewable sources or existing generators, NOMAD helps lower harmful emissions, reduce public health risks, and generate real savings that can be reinvested into community priorities like housing, health, and education.
The Challenge: Advancing Energy Sovereignty
Many remote and off-grid Indigenous communities face significant energy challenges:
- High Cost of Diesel: Millions of gallons of diesel are used annually, creating a heavy financial burden. In Canada alone, this amounts to 180 million gallons per year.
- Public Health Risks: Emissions from diesel generators contribute to air and noise pollution, impacting community health.
- Energy Insecurity: Reliance on external fuel supplies can be unreliable and limits energy independence.
