"While in Labrador West today, Premier John Hogan, KC, leader of the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador, announced his commitment to seniors housing development and a new transmission line from Churchill Falls to Labrador West.

A re-elected Liberal Government will work with industry and NL Hydro to build a transmission line to support industrial, commercial and housing development in the region. This line will transmit electricity that Newfoundland and Labrador will gain from Churchill Falls and the new hydro developments through the new MOU with Hydro Quebec. Labrador has an abundance of natural resources and a highly skilled workforce. The communities have been home to large-scale mining operations for decades, and there is significant opportunity for further growth and development. Potential expansion of operations at the Iron Ore Company of Canada and Tacora, possible developments at Kami Project, and an undeveloped iron ore deposit at Julienne Lake, provide promise for economic stability in the region.

Right now, these opportunities cannot all become reality because they require more electricity – power that is currently unavailable in Labrador West.

The new Churchill Falls MOU empowers Newfoundland and Labrador to take back control of our energy and benefit from our resources, without financial risk. With access to more power from the existing Churchill Falls plant and increased capacity from new developments, Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro will increase available power from 525MW to 1,990 MW, which is almost four times the capacity it has today.

This allows Labrador West to meet its full potential and is critical to the future success of the communities. This region is already a driving force in Newfoundland and Labrador’s economy, strengthening Labrador West’s industry and communities will benefit the entire province."
