About the Organization

K'uul Power is a First Nations-led organization partnered with BC Hydro for advancing the North Coast Transmission Line (NCTL) Phase 2.

By taking the lead, First Nations have the opportunity to chart a positive path forward, power our communities and create a healthy economic and social future for our families.
