Premier Higgs was in Ottawa on Oct. 17 looking for federal funding for New Brunswick’s plans to green the electricity grid and make the province “net-zero” by 2050. He confirmed that developing new reactor designs is a provincial priority, along with converting the NB Power coal-fired plant at Belledune to burning biomass. In response, the federal government announced $7M for the ARC-100 project and $2M for a feasibility study for Belledune. This is in contrast to the Nova Scotia plan that focuses on offshore wind generation. CRED-NB core member Susan O’Donnell wrote a short article about it for the NB Media Co-op, HERE.
