dbo:abstract
  • The Lower Churchill Project is an ongoing hydroelectric project in the Labrador region of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, to develop the remaining 35 per cent of the Churchill River that was not developed by the Churchill Falls Generating Station. The station at Muskrat Falls will have a capacity of over 824 MW and provide 4.9 TWh of electricity per year. A $6.2 billion deal between Newfoundland and Labrador's Nalcor Energy and Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Emera to develop the project was announced in November 2010. On November 30, 2012, a federal loan guarantee deal for financing of the project was signed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Kathy Dunderdale and Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter. On December 17, 2012, the provincial government announced project sanction. Emera received approval to proceed with the Maritime Link from the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board in 2013. Financial close for the loan guarantee occurred in late 2013. On September 23, 2020, the first unit at Muskrat Falls was synced to the electricity grid in Labrador. Power from the remaining three units was originally expected to come online in the fall of 2021. However, delays in construction, including on the corresponding Labrador–Island Link which will transmit generated power to Newfoundland, has pushed the date to the spring of 2022. (en)
  • Le développement hydroélectrique du Bas-Churchill est un projet de développement hydroélectrique en cours de construction au Labrador, dans la partie continentale de la province de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, au Canada. Il vise à développer les 35 % restants du potentiel du fleuve Churchill qui n'ont pas été aménagés par la centrale de Churchill Falls, une puissance potentielle évaluée à plus de 3 000 MW. Une première phase a été entreprise par Nalcor Energy en 2013, comprenant la centrale et le barrage de Muskrat Falls, d'une capacité de 824 MW, une ligne de transport de 1 100 km vers l'île de Terre-Neuve et une seconde ligne de transmission sous-marine de 180 km sous le détroit de Cabot pour acheminer une partie de l'énergie à la province de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Le projet doit être complété en 2021. Une seconde phase est prévue pour le développement de 2 250 MW supplémentaires sur un second site, Gull Island. (fr)
