Our mission and editorial approach
North Energy Review delivers context-rich reporting on power systems, renewables, and infrastructure across Canada’s northern and cold-climate regions. We are an independent newsroom guided by evidence, transparency, and respect for Indigenous leadership.
Mission statement
We provide actionable analysis on northern energy transitions—from remote microgrids to regional transmission upgrades. Our work equips infrastructure planners, community leaders, and policymakers with timely insight rooted in technical rigor.
Editorial standards
Every piece is grounded in verifiable data, firsthand reporting, and accountability to the communities we cover. Sources are cross-checked, terminology is clarified, and we publish corrections promptly when warranted.
Regional focus
Our reporters cover the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, northern Quebec, Labrador, and remote regions of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, and Atlantic Canada.
Editorial methodology
Indigenous partnership
Coverage decisions reflect Indigenous perspectives and local priorities. We consult advisory voices before publishing major features concerning lands, resources, and traditional knowledge.
Data verification
Fact-checkers validate energy metrics, regulatory filings, and climate data using primary documents, publicly accessible dashboards, and direct confirmation from issuing agencies.
Transparency
Methodology notes accompany major features, clarifying modeling assumptions and identifying limitations. When we use anonymous sources, we explain the rationale.
