Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro says it will have input throughout the process of developing two new megaprojects in Labrador as part of an MOU between this province and Quebec.

The agreement includes the development of Gull Island, as well as a new powerhouse being added at Churchill Falls.

Quebec will bear the full responsibility when it comes to construction risks and cost overruns, with NL Hydro managing the facilities once they are built.

CEO Jennifer Williams says Quebec handling that aspect is “quite good” for them, and notes that Hydro will have its say throughout the entire process.

She says they will have a consultative role and will be giving input. “It’s not just going to happen and we’ll show up one day and take the keys, it very much will be a partnership in how these proceed.”
