October 14, 2021

 The Provincial Government is inviting input from stakeholders and the public on the development of a renewable energy plan to provide a sustainable long-term vision for Newfoundland and Labrador to maximize its renewable energy future.

Beginning today, and until Thursday, November 4, 2021, feedback can be provided during this virtual consultation process at engageNL.ca. This will include an online questionnaire and the option of providing a written submission.

The plan will be guided by public input, industry expertise and the unique perspective of stakeholders. It will be finalized and made public by the end of 2021.

Quote
“Newfoundland and Labrador has an abundance of developed and undeveloped renewable energy resources. Through consultation with stakeholders and the public, we will develop a plan for how to best use our abundant renewable energy to create jobs and ensure that our province’s clean energy resources are developed in a responsible, sustainable fashion. This will contribute to our development as a Clean Energy Centre of Excellence. I look forward to receiving input through the consultation process as we work to develop a Renewable Energy Plan that is the right fit for our province.”
Honourable Andrew Parsons
Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology
