NL Hydro has submitted its plans to the Public Utilities Board for the next ten years.
The company wants to add an 8th unit in Bay’D’espoir, 150MW combustion turbines on the Avalon, and Wind Energy. The 8th unit would replace the aging Holyrood station, which Muskrat Falls was created for in 2020. NL Hydro President and CEO Jennifer Williams says our needs as a province have changed and grown since that time. NL Hydro announced details of the 2024 Resource Adequacy Plan. Vice President of Engineering. Robert Collett, says within the 79 page report, there are three solutions for our power needs. He says they’ll know the cost this fall once engineering is done.
