In indigenous communities, they don't have the capital required to pay for long-term community energy planning, the assessment component, and to pay for the capital requirements for these upgrades. If we look at the supply in diesel costs that are being subsidized to these communities, and we look at that funding as a way to help push energy efficiency, we see that becomes a more impactful model that helps both the supply side of energy and the demand side of energy. But these remote communities with 90 homes don't have the capital required to take on these initiatives on their own.
