One that ensures economic returns are equitably shared with local communities, particularly those directly affected.
Opposition shadow Environment minister, Pleaman Forsey, is demanding a comprehensive community benefits agreement be included in project development of the province’s wind energy potential. One that ensures economic returns are equitably shared with local communities, particularly those directly affected. Issues regarding the eventual decommissioning of the project and the associated costs must be addressed through clear, upfront plans to ensure that environmental restoration and cleanup obligations are fully met without burdening taxpayers. Forsey says “We are voicing our cautious optimism for the newly greenlit Wind Power and Hydrogen Generation Project on the understanding that stringent oversight will maximize local benefits and safeguard the environment and economy of the region.” Forsey added they “will continue to closely monitor this project's progress and demand accountability for ensuring it is indeed the best possible deal for Newfoundland and Labrador."
