US agencies should use advanced technology to identify mysterious drones, Schumer says
Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territories has taken a significant step toward energy sustainability with the launch of a groundbreaking Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure project. Approved by Wiikwemkoong Leadership, this initiative combines cutting-edge technology and renewable energy to benefit the community and environment. In collaboration with Vortex Technology Group and supported by key funding programs, the project includes the installation of Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers alongside a revolutionary Battery Energy Storage Solution (BESS) at the community’s Recreational Complex. The launch event on November 27, 2024, was celebrated by Ogimaah Ominika and Vortex CEO Brian Walters. Ogimaah Ominika remarked, “When private sector companies partner and invest with Indigenous communities, the outcomes benefit technology, the environment, and the people.” The Vortex BESS technology, central to this initiative, offers unique advantages over traditional lithium-ion systems. Utilizing graphene-based, solid-state cells, the batteries are safer, longer-lasting, and faster-charging. They integrate seamlessly with the complex’s rooftop solar array, enabling EV charging and critical power supplies even during outages. This innovative design reflects Wiikwemkoong’s commitment to green energy and resilience. The project has been made possible through partnerships and funding from the IESO Indigenous Energy Support Program (IESP), NRCAN’s ZEVIP program, and in-kind contributions from Vortex. The IESP has supported over 170 Indigenous communities with $74 million since its inception, funding initiatives in renewable energy, storage systems, and microgrid development.The program underscores the role of Indigenous leadership in driving Ontario’s energy transition. Brian Walters highlighted, “This installation showcases how our technology can enhance EV charging and emergency power systems, reinforcing Wiikwemkoong’s leadership in sustainable innovation.” The project is more than infrastructure—it’s a vision for the future. The 24/7 accessible chargers will attract visitors to explore Wiikwemkoong’s cultural and ecological offerings while supporting a shift to cleaner transportation. By commissioning the chargers in mid-2025, the community will further its goals of environmental stewardship and energy independence. Wiikwemkoong’s initiative sets a national example, blending green innovation with cultural leadership to create lasting benefits for its people and the planet. -30- No media for this story
