Inuvialuit Energy Security Project Ltd. – Inuvialuit Energy Security Project

Project Background

The Inuvialuit Energy Security Project Ltd. (IESPL) proposed Inuvialuit Energy Security Project (IESP) is located in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Northwest Territories. The land and resources where the project is located are Inuvialuit owned.
