With the displacement of the power from our Holyrood Generating Station, the province will be powered by 98 per cent renewable energy – a claim that can be made by few areas around the world.

  • Bishops Falls ICSP
    Town Name: Bishop’s Falls Type of ICSP: Stand Alone Created by: Town Council Projected Length of Plan: 5 years Community Profile A $7 million economic diversification fund was awarded to the community following the railway closure to assist in rebuilding the economy. The Bishop’s Falls Development Corporation was established to manage the fund and to attract new businesses to the Town, which decided to pursue manufacturing as a strategic sector. Sixteen years later, in 2004, the BFDC closed because the diversification fund had become exhausted. Community Assessment Economic Sustainability It is obvious that a large majority of residents are working full-time in Grand Falls- Windsor. Employment outside of NL is also a contributor to the Bishop’s Falls economy. Approximately 23% of those above the age of 18 are unemployed. There are roughly 70 businesses in Bishop’s Falls representing a broad base of sectors (manufacturing, transportation, construction, retail, services, restaurants, etc), 70% of which operate on a year round basis. Sixty percent of the respondents established their businesses after 1991. Governance Sustainability The town has a committed council and has voting privileges on the Exploits Regional Services Board, Exploits Valley Economic Development Corporation, and the Exploits Valley Joint Council. The town currently holds membership status with the Exploits Valley Tourism Association, Exploits Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Central Newfoundland Waste Management Committee. Cultural/Community Sustainability The communityof Bishop’s Falls has become apathetic – this message resounded during almost every consultation session. There is an important point to be made here – although the sectors are being addressed as separate areas, they are interdependent and interconnected with each other.

Purpose The purpose of this technical note is to explain the changes that have been made by Nalcor Energy (Nalcor) to the development plans for the Lower Churchill Project from 1998 to 2011. This note addresses the following: • Muskrat Falls Hydroelectric Development • HVac Interconnecting Transmission Lines • Labrador‐Island Transmission Link 2. Muskrat Falls In 1998, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro (NL Hydro) conducted a Final Feasibility Study for the hydroelectric generation facility at Muskrat Falls. The Study concluded with a short list of three development scenarios known as Variant 7, Variant 10 and Variant 11. Following an analysis of comparative costs, schedule and risk; Variant 7 was selected as the layout of choice for further development. The conceptual development for Variant 7 was described in the Final Feasibility Report by SNC‐AGRA in January 1999. Variant 7 is an 824 MW hydroelectric development. It includes two tunnels through the rock knoll on the north side eof th Churchill River for diversion of the river during construction, a four unit powerhouse with Kaplan/propeller turbines, a gated spillway constructed in the river channel, a north overflow dam with a partial fixed crest and an inflatable rubber dam, and a south closure dam. Permanent access to the powerhouse is from the north side of the river, around the rock knoll of the North Spur and across the top of the dams, spillway and intake structures.

  • CIMFP Exhibit P-00269 Page 1
    CIMFP Exhibit P-00269 Page 1 1 A Summary of Position of the Nunatsiavut Government to the Commission of Inquiry Concerning the Muskrat Falls Proiect June 2018 The Nunatsiavut Government (NG) has been involved with the Lower Churchill project since the project was sent to a five-member panel of a Joint Review Panel under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. The NG intervened in this process, challenged the violation of Labrador Inuit rights in Provincial courts in Nunatsiavut vs Newfoundland and Labrador (2013), and worked with the three Indigenous groups, other affected municipalities, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and Nalcor to establish the Independent Expert Advisory Committee to the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric development. In addition to these direct interventions, the NG held dozens of meetings, workshops and consultations with government officials, community members and groups, and other organizations. Despite a concerted effort by the NG, no meaningful change has taken place to address the fundamental concerns of Labrador Inuit. As a result of the lack of response from Nalcor, the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the Federal Government to these interventions and initiatives, including not responding to the recommendations of the Joint Review Panel Report recommendations, the NG was forced to partner with academic researchers and institutions to show through additional peer-reviewed science that Labrador lnuit’s concerns were valid. Again, the results of the peer-review literature were dismissed along with the concerns of Labrador Inuit. Additionally, the NG started the Make Muskrat Right campaign, which identified the four asks of the Nunatsiavut Government: 1.
