NB Power still lacks Indigenous partner for $3.5-billion gas plant, CEO says – NB Media Co-op
June 12, 2026
The president and CEO of NB Power says there is still no Indigenous partnership in the utility’s proposed 500 MW gas/diesel plant near Centre Village.
“They are working hard on it right now,” Lori Clark told the Legislature’s Public Accounts Committee on June 11 during three hours of testimony.
She was referring to efforts by NB Power’s American partner ProEnergy to secure Indigenous investment.
“I can’t give you a timeline,” Clark said, “and we’ve had several conversations in terms of the timeline, but as you know, as First Nations would tell us, it will take the time it takes to get an agreement.”
