摘要

Edmundston Energy will receive up to C$2 million (US$1.9 million) from the Canadian federal government for a hydroelectric modernization project. The municipal power utility's 4.05-MW Madawaska Hydrodam project will be constructed by Norcan Hydraulic Turbine Inc. The plant will generate 20 GWh of electricity each year. "[The project] is helping create high-quality jobs and a sustainable energy source for New Brunswick's future," says Bernard Valcourt, Minister of State for the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
