The Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology, today provided an update on renewable energy projects.
Effective today, the Provincial Government has extended the Crown lands Wind Energy Land Reserve to February 28, 2026 and the Wind Energy Contingency Land Reserve to March 31, 2026.
Extending the Crown lands reserves allows proponents more time to secure agreements with investors and continue with pre-development work.
Six companies are pursuing wind-hydrogen projects in the province: EverWind NL Company, Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation, Toqlukuti’k Wind and Hydrogen, World Energy GH2 Ltd., Argentia Renewables LP, and North Atlantic Refining Limited.
Quote
“Our government remains committed to advancing wind-hydrogen development in Newfoundland and Labrador and these extensions will allow proponents more time to develop their projects. This emerging industry holds the exciting promise of creating good jobs here at home while also delivering the clean, renewable energy the world is increasingly demanding.”
