The executive in charge of building a proposed natural gas plant in rural Tantramar told local politicians this week to talk to N.B. Power if they want answers on why their southeastern New Brunswick community was chosen for the project.
John MacIsaac of ProEnergy Canada appeared before Tantramar council Tuesday evening to face questions about the project.
But councillors weren’t sure they were getting the answers they needed about the plant, which would be capable of generating at least 400 megawatts of power from eight turbines.
“Unfortunately, you’re the wrong person to be here tonight, because we should be asking N.B. Power questions, not you,” said Coun. Josh Goguen, eliciting applause from the capacity crowd in Tantramar’s municipal council chambers in Sackville.
MacIsaac seemed to agree with Goguen and told councillors they should ask N.B. Power for a copy of a report on how Centre Village was chosen over other possible sites such as the Scoudouc Industrial Park.
