Crocker provides update on renewable energy projects

Minister of Industry, Energy and Technology Steve Crocker provided an update on renewable energy projects last week.

The Provincial Government has extended the Crown lands Wind Energy Land Reserve to February 28, 2026 and the Wind Energy Contingency Land Reserve to March 31, 2026.

This will allow proponents more time to secure agreements with investors and continue with pre-development work.

Six companies are pursuing wind-hydrogen projects in the province: EverWind NL Company, Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation, Toqlukuti’k Wind and Hydrogen, World Energy GH2 Ltd., Argentia Renewables LP, and North Atlantic Refining Limited.
