Today’s announcement builds on the Atlantic Economic Panel’s call to develop the region’s energy resources and strengthen electricity connections between provinces. Alongside the historic new Churchill Falls agreement, which represented the largest clean energy investment in North American history, it demonstrates the federal government’s commitment to unlocking Atlantic Canada’s potential as a clean energy superpower. Building out new clean electricity will bring economic prosperity, energy security, thousands of job opportunities, and a cleaner future to Canadians on the east coast and beyond.
