The Remote Communities Energy Database (RCED) is a tool that aims to collect and show pertinent factual information about the generation and use of electricity and other energy sources for all remote communities of Canada. It uses a web driven application so this information can be viewed by anyone with a web access and be easily updated and maintained. The data in the RCED requires a comprehensive update and validation to enhance the utility of this tool for all users. Updating and validating this data will require engaging federal departments, utilities, communities, local governments, provincial governments and territorial governments.
The objective of the contract is to update and validate the current RCED and the new RCED template file so that this data can be made public and help inform public policy and provide data related to energy in remote communities. The successful proponent will also provide advice and guidance on the datafields, database structure and interface of the RCED
