NB Power has begun environmental and geotechnical studies, and site testing to
explore the potential for a new 100-MW generating station in Grand Falls beside its
existing 66-MW Grand Falls hydropower project on Saint John River in New
Brunswick, Canada, according to a company press release.
The cost of the proposed project is not immediately available and no timetable was
given for the potential project’s completion.The company did say combined
renewable generation capacity of the proposed and existing stations would be 166
MW and the project would require construction of various new structures,
including a second tunnel.

Canadian clean technology companies are struggling to stay afloat and falling
behind global peers even as Ottawa promises to boost the sector and move the
country toward a low carbon future, a report released onThursday showed.
Analytica Advisors said in its seventh annual report that despite years of publicly
funded support for research and development, losses for clean tech companies
widened to $3.56 billion in 2015 from $3.18 billion in 2014, and shareholder returns
limped in below the Canadian average. Figures for 2016 are not yet available.
