In a letter sent to World Energy GH2 by Davis, the minister said the EIS was found to be deficient based on a review from the department's environmental assessment committee and comment from the public. Davis asked Sean Leet, the CEO of World Energy GH2, to provide more information in the areas of water use and monitoring, baseline data and information, assessing the potential and cumulative effects of the project, along with mitigation plans, contingency plans and emergency response plans.
The Newfoundland and Labrador government paid out $462,762 to management firms to assist in assessing wind hydrogen proposals over four months, which Energy Minister Andrew Parsons called essential.
The Newfoundland and Labrador government says it needs more information from World Energy GH2's environmental assessment submission before it can decide on the future of the proposed wind energy project in western Newfoundland.
