  • I am writing on behalf of Emera Newfoundland and Labrador (ENL), owner and operator of the Maritime Link 500MW electricity transmission system. Please note that ENL also collaborated in the development of a separate but aligned letter to the Committee from Emera Inc., our parent company. As the Committee prepares to finalize the final report, I would like to reinforce the importance of the Maritime Link and the need to ensure shared safety in the vicinity of the submarine cables and related assets. Drawing on information included in the interim and final draft report, it appears that a portion of the Sydney Bight development area is in close proximity to the Maritime Link submarine cables, which is a significant concern due to related risks including safety and the reliability of the Maritime Link. We believe that development in the Sydney Bight area can proceed, however important steps must be taken to safeguard against risks of contact with and disruption of the Maritime ...

  • Oceans North's Position on Offshore Wind Development Oceans North supports a just and equitable transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources, recognizing the critical role this shift plays in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We believe that renewable energy development, particularly offshore wind, must be conducted in a manner that enhances, rather than undermines, the integrity of protected marine areas, the sustainability of fisheries, and the social and economic well-being of communities in affected regions. We commend Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan, which includes a commitment to achieve net-zero electricity by 2035 through the expansion of non-emitting energy sources, laying the foundation for a broader goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The Regional Assessment for offshore wind development in Nova Scotia is a positive step towards addressing climate change. Below, we outline our ...

  • There are a number of important points raised in this feedback that deserve careful consideration. Questions about how site selection criteria were developed, how social and economic priorities are balanced, and what benefits are being offered to communities and Indigenous groups all point to areas where greater transparency would strengthen the regional assessment. These are not minor issues, and addressing them is essential to ensuring the process is both fair and effective. That said, I think it’s a positive step that these challenges are being acknowledged and brought into the conversation. Offshore wind development is a complex undertaking, and it’s encouraging to see efforts being made to address not only the technical aspects but also the broader social and environmental implications. With some adjustments, this assessment has the potential to set a strong example of how large-scale projects can be approached responsibly and ...

  • CMM - Draft Report Feedback Section Page # Comment Summary, PDA 20 How did the site selection criteria evolve to include the new areas of LaHave Basin and Misaine Bank?     - If the criteria remain unchanged, why were these sites not identified in the original analysis?     - If the criteria were revised, what specific changes justify their inclusion in the updated map? 2.2.3 45 What social criteria were included in the value mapping document? 2.2.3 46 How does the emphasis on economic value in the PFDA map align with the stated need to incorporate "other factors," and what specific factors should be prioritized in future analyses? Why does the PFDA map in the final report fail to reflect meaningful progress in addressing the acknowledged limitations and inclusion of non-economic constraints? 2.3 49 How will the RA address the issue of high compatibility scores being assigned in the absence of conflict data, especially for factors like fishing activity?
