Pituvik Inukjuak

Pituvik means "a place to connect” in Inuktitut and is the landholding corporation for the community of Inukjuak. The Pituvik Landholding Corporation of Inukjuak was established in 1979.

Inukjuak, meaning "the giant" in Inuktitut, is located on the bank of the Innuksuak River. This river is now home to the Innavik Hydro Project, a medium-scale (7.5 MW) run-of-river hydroelectric facility developed by the Pituvik Landholding Corporation of Inukjuak.

Completed in 2024, the Innavik project has replaced diesel-generated electricity in Inukjuak, significantly reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The clean energy produced by the facility is expected to meet the community’s power needs and support its growth for the next 40 years.
