Nova Scotia’s Offshore Wind Transmission Line Could Cost $10 Billion: Premier
- Premier Tim Houston proposed last week building hundreds of offshore wind turbines near Nova Scotia to generate 40 gigawatts of electricity.
- He floated the idea on June 2 to Prime Minister Mark Carney, who is seeking bids for large infrastructure projects to boost the economy.
- Houston said the turbines would be located about 25 kilometers offshore in waters around 100 meters deep, harnessing some of the world’s fastest, most consistent offshore winds.
- He projected that constructing the transmission line to link the turbines with the rest of Canada might require an investment ranging from $5 billion to $10 billion, alongside federal assistance and discussions on regulatory matters.
- If the plan succeeds, Houston said it could transform Nova Scotia and Atlantic Canada by providing green energy and reducing reliance on federal equalization payments.
