Irving Oil is exploring the possibility of building a wind and natural gas co-generation power plant.
The plant would be capable of generating between 12 and 15-hundred megawatts of power — and — Irving’s Jeff Matthews says it would be built in phases.
The plant’s capacity is more than double that of the Point Lepreau nuclear generating station — the company is currently doing technical and commercial feasibility studies.
Matthews says the natural gas fired power plant would be located as close as possible to the Canaport L-N-G terminal.
