NB Power has green lit a plan to buy 300,000 tonnes of wood pellets to convert its largest power plant in northern New Brunswick

That’s as the Holt government has quietly issued a Crown timber sub-licence to one of those five, a partnership between Eel River Bar First Nation, Pabineau First Nation, and Arbec Forest Products. ---- The trio, together behind what’s being called the Belledune Biocoal Joint Venture Group, has also recently filed an environmental impact assessment with the Department of Environment and Local Government to build a torrefied wood pellet production facility at the Port of Belledune in support of NB Power’s transition away from coal burning power generation. --- A lot of details right here... 👇👇👇: https://tj.news/new-brunswick/nb-power-to-buy-300000-tonnes-of-wood-pellets

He suggests the lack of a definition in New Brunswick ultimately divided the party he led and resulted in his political defeat. --- That’s while seemingly taking a veiled shot at New Brunswick Progressive Conservative leadership contender Daniel Allain, suggesting that a “coup” inside the party worked to replace him – and “is still at it." --- Higgs made the comments on stage in Ottawa at the annual gathering billed as the country’s largest gathering of the conservative movement.

Saint John-based Moltex Energy Canada has received only $16 million of the $50.5 million the federal government said it would provide the small modular nuclear reactor developer that’s now about to be sold. ---- And the feds say there are safeguards on the money that requires Moltex to remain incorporated in Canada throughout the term of the agreement, and that future benefits, such as jobs and R&D, must also remain in the country. --- That’s as at least some of the money already handed out may also need to be repaid to Ottawa if conditions aren’t met. --- Meanwhile, they’re stipulations that don’t seem to appear on the millions the New Brunswick government provided Moltex in previous years. https://tj.news/new-brunswick/n-b-smr-company-hasnt-been-given-most-of-the-millions-ottawa-promised-it
