Newfoundland and Labrador’s Clean Energy Advantage

Untapped Wind Resources.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s onshore and offshore wind resources are among the strongest in the world.

Backed by a hydroelectric grid.

Newfoundland and Labrador has an abundance of hydroelectricity (developed and undeveloped) for base load and backup.

An abundance of land and water.

We have significant crown land and fresh water available and accessible.

Port Infrastructure.

We have established industrial deep seaports that remain ice-free year round. This infrastructure has been integral to supporting offshore energy, ocean sciences, and fishing industries for decades.

On Major Shipping Routes.

Newfoundland is the closest point in North America to Europe, strategically located on major shipping routes.

Significant Energy Storage Possibilities.

From extraordinary salt domes to pumped storage possibilities to laydown capacity, we have what is required to balance supply and demand.

A ready supply chain.

NL has a robust energy sector supply chain with specialized expertise in areas such as: engineering; fabrication; marine transportation; logistics; safety; environmental monitoring; etc.

Workforce.

A workforce with a history of supporting large energy, mining, and infrastructure projects primed to drive the energy transition.
