Building a Stronger Energy Future: LLRIB Community Energy Plan

The Lac La Ronge Indian Band (LLRIB) has taken an important step toward strengthening energy security, reducing costs, and building long-term sustainability through the development of its Community Energy Plan (CEP). This comprehensive plan supports all six LLRIB communities — Grandmother’s Bay, Hall Lake, La Ronge, Little Red River, Stanley Mission, and Sucker River. The plan addresses rising energy demands, aging infrastructure, and long-term sustainability goals for the Band and its members.

The Community Energy Plan is supported by three documents:

1. The Community Energy Analysis provides the technical backbone of the CEP. It details:

   • • How the community’s current energy use was calculated

     • Baseline energy consumption data

     • Projected outcomes of proposed community energy actions

     • Emissions reductions and cost-saving estimates

2. The Community Energy Education and Engagement Report documents the knowledge gathered through:

   • • Internal capacity-building within the Community Energy Planning team

     • Engagement sessions with Band membership

     • Discussions with staff and Elders

3. The Community Energy Planning Learning Materials provide foundational background information to support:

   • • Understanding of the Community Energy Plan

     • Ongoing community engagement

     • Educational activities related to energy literacy
