EverWind has been shortlisted in Newfoundland & Labrador’s Green Energy Initiative.
EverWind Fuels (“EverWind”), Canada’s leading large-scale green hydrogen developer, has received notification from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador that it has successfully advanced to the final stage of evaluation for the leasing of Crown land to develop its $8 billion green fuels project on the Burin Peninsula. The shortlist was issued on July 6, 2023, by the Honourable Andrew Parsons, Minister of Innovation, Energy and Technology, Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Trent Vichie, CEO and founder of EverWind welcomed the news said:
We are pleased to be selected and applaud the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador for their efforts and diligence in reaching another crucial milestone in the province’s burgeoning renewable green energy industry.
“A special thank you must be extended to all who took time to conult, inform and upport EverWind in this process, particularly the residents and community leaders on the peninsula, as well as the Burin Peninsula Energy Board.”
“EverWind’s Burin Peninsula green fuels project represents an exciting and ambitious project for Newfoundland and Labrador, not only in size and scale, but also in innovation, environmental sustainability and socioeconomic benefits,” added Vichie.
“We are proud of the progress we have made to date, and we have received significant support from communities throughout the peninsula along the way. In the last year, we have advanced pre-FEED engineering, acquired strategic private land, and have been collecting environmental data since November 2022, which positions our Burin Peninsula project as one of the most advanced in the province.”
Following its successful shortlisting EverWind also announces the launch of its meteorological (“MET”) tower program, with 6 MET towersto be erected on he Burin Peninsula in the coming months. This program will begin collection of the wind resource data critical for project engineering and financing.
“We are thrilled to reach this major milestone in the development of our project. With our Provincial approvals we are targeting having all 6 towers completed by early this fall and should be in a position to begin collecting live wind data on the first tower by early August. This will represent the largest MET tower campaign in all Atlantic Canada,” said Vichie.
EverWind has received significant community support for this campaign.
Brian Keating, Chair of the Burin Peninsula Energy Board, said:
EverWind continues to work collaboratively with the communities on the Burin Peninsula and shared detailed information regarding its MET tower program and has the full support of the Burin Peninsula Energy Board and the communities on the peninsula to proceed.
“We are excited for this major stp in this transforational project for our region.”
“Our progress on the Burin Peninsula has not gone unnoticed – we are attracting some of the largest offtakers in the world, who are interested in purchasing green fuels proudly made here in Newfoundland and Labrador,” added Vichie.
