Bluewater applies for intervenor status for Nextera’s proposed transmission line.
The march of wind energy to the Ontario power grid has its twists and turns — and that’s true with both transmission routes, and legal hurdles.
Nextera’s Varna Wind Project application faces both the Renewable Energy Approval (RAE) process under the Green Energy Act, and a hearing at the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) under the Province’s Electrical Act.
The developer is seeking what’s called a Leave to Construct.
It is asking for permission to build a transmission line to connect the Varna Wind Farm to the Seaforth transformer station.
The Energy Board hearing can often be a formality, with an OEB panel reviewing only written submissions.
That won’t be the case if Bluewater has its way.
The municipality has requested Intervener Status, which, if granted would allow it to comment on Nextera’s proposed transmission line routing for the Varna (Bluewater) project, call witnesses and question the proponent’s submissions. Read article
There is growing opposition at every stage of this fiasco. The wind companies must be getting nervous.
Yes, NexTerror’s sly sneaky stint of eliminating the active eagles’ nest & tree, while the eagles looked on, drew BIG attention to NexTerror’s complete lack of morals & conscience. When there were only 57 eagles’ nests in all of Ontario last year (now 56), this deliberate act may be the beginning of NexTerror’s end.
If you go to the article, the very last line “McAuley notes that Bluewater was advised the day before Christmas of Nextera’s intention to apply for the construction permit– and had to get its response in by January 3rd.”
I think this also speaks to their sleeziness. Brave talk of cooperation and concern about the community, but then do this kind of stunt to avoid anyone having the time to comment. Good on Bluewater for being on top of it.
May they rot in hell. (Nextera, not Bluewater. lol)
Some of you have already seen this but let’s give it a shot…..end your comments with the following call-out;
“OPP ARB, where are you? Ontario Provincial Police Anti Racket Bureau, where are you?”
For those who don’t know, ARB investigates corrupt government.
Very intent of the GEA was to empower the
green industry/gvmt agencies to do as they
please in order to promote/develop the
green energy fiasco and at the same time
eliminate any input from the public. To that
extent McGuinty’s scheme, while hardly original,
was successful. Took away our democratic
rights, obviously enhanced the perception of
corruption, but then again every aspect of the
gvmt and its layers of bureaucracy is corrupt
to some degree. The system is in need of an
overhaul. Time for a revolution. As my
grandpappy used to say, its time to quit
blowin’ on the fur and get to the hide.
