Coalition Files Court Challenge to Tantramar Gas Project

The Protect the Chignecto Isthmus Coalition (PCIC) filed an application for judicial review of the New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board’s approval of the proposed Renewable Integration and Grid Security Project (RIGS) in Tantramar.

The EUB approved the project in May that includes a proposed 400-megawatt dual-fuel generating facility and an additional 100-megawatt expansion intended to supply power to Nova Scotia. The project’s capital cost is expected to exceed $1 billion, and if it goes ahead, it will raise electricity rates. This is a story written by Jim Emberger of the New Brunswick Anti-Shale Gas Alliance. Read the full story and download a copy of the PCIC petition on the NBASGA website HERE.

Stand with Save Lorneville

CRED-NB support’s Save Lorneville’s call for a moratorium on new large data-centre grid allocations and full transparency on the proposed Beacon Data Centers project in Lorneville.

We’re asking supporters to act by April 17. Email a letter to Premier Holt and officials. It takes only 2 minutes using the letter template available HERE.

Copy and paste the text into your own text editor, and then follow the yellow-highlighted instructions. Thank you for standing with Save Lorneville!

Why this matters: Beacon Data Centers is seeking ~200 MW from the NB Power grid, roughly the electricity used by ~150,000 homes. New Brunswickers are being warned about power constraints and rising rates, yet government and agencies have been advancing this massive new demand behind closed doors.
