Lower Churchill Looking Good"Focusing Our Energy addresses the Provincial Government’s plan for the potential development of the Lower Churchill Project – one of the most exciting green energy projects in North America today. In conjunction with this development, a transmission link will be built between the island and Labrador. The plan also commits to addressing environmental concerns at the Holyrood Generating Station by replacing Holyrood with electricity from the Lower Churchill development by 2015 "
