The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board will release its decision on the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project on Monday, reports The Guardian.
The board is evaluating Emera’sproposal to build a subsea cable — known as the Maritime Link — that would ship power generated in Labrador to Nova Scotia.
The board has been asked to decide whether building the 170-kilometre cable represents the cheapest long-term alternative for the province’s electricity users and whether the $1.5-billion project meets requirements governing the release of greenhouse gases and air pollutants.
The board held hearings on the project this spring.
