New Brunswick’s energy regulator approves a proposal for a 500-megawatt natural gas power plant in the province’s southeast. The project is planned by a corporation that has a 25-year contract with Missouri-based ProEnergy to supply the facility. The plan involves installing 10 natural gas turbines at a rural site. The approval indicates the regulator has authorized the project to proceed under the terms of the application, including the long-term contractual arrangement for the development and operation. The decision covers the proposal for generating electricity using natural gas turbines, with the facility’s capacity targeted at 500 megawatts. Details on timing for construction and operation and any additional conditions attached to the approval are not provided in the supplied excerpts. Both outlets report the same core elements of the regulator’s decision: approval of a 500-megawatt gas plant, deployment of 10 turbines, placement in southeast New Brunswick, and the 25-year contract with ProEnergy.
