The influx of Indigenous-led and owned clean energy initiatives is demonstrating that the energy transition must be just, equitable, and centred around Indigenous rights. This research answers the question, how does project ownership support the involvement of Indigenous communities in Alberta’s growing renewable energy sector, as well as control in shaping the broader energy transition.
Andrea Miller is a Masters Student in Professor John Parkins' lab in the the Facilty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Science. The research falls under the category: Energy generation, harvesting, and production. You can learn more about this research here: [ Ссылка ]

Future Energy Systems is a $75 million research program at the University of Alberta, funded by the Canada First Research Excellence Fund. More than 130 researchers, 600 graduate students, post docs and other highly qualified personnel in nine faculties are studying the energy transition in over 90 different projects. Our researchers seek to develop energy technologies of the future, improve today’s energy technologies, and understand the transition between the two. We are also studying the effects of energy transition on society, the economy, and the environment.
Broadly speaking, we can simplify this complex system into four broad categories:
-Energy generation, harvesting, and production
-Transport, storage, and access
-Use, impact, and regulation
-Monitoring, management, and mitigation
Through our Energy in a Flash Lightning Research Speaker Series, we will explore all four of these categories, and see how broad and diverse our energy systems truly are.
The University of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that we are located on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Metis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/ Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our vibrant community.
