=====================
INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY:
=====================
¶1. This cable is a "primer" on the status of significant
operating and future energy projects in Atlantic Canada. The
Atlantic Provinces Economic Council (APEC), a regional think
tank, reported in March 2008 that actual and proposed new
investment in these projects had reached the level of $42
billion. Unlike the 1990s, however, today's investments are
focused less on offshore developments and more on a mixture of
onshore projects such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities,
oil refineries, pipelines, hydro and nuclear power generation,
and other forms of renewable energy. What has not changed over
the years is the overarching importance of the U.S. northeast
energy market. New England is the market for approximately 85
percent of Atlantic Canada's international energy exports, which
totaled $16.6 billion in 2007. (The remaining 15 percent is
divided among a number of other countries, none of which would
be considered a prime secondary market.) Future demand in New
England is also the driving force behind several new and
proposed energy projects throughout the region.

¶A. Offshore Oil and Gas Projects
---------------------------------
¶1. HIBERNIA
--Type: Offshore Oil
--Location: Newfoundland-Labrador; 195 miles
east-southeast of St. John's
--Owner/Operator: Owned jointly by ExxonMobil Canada
(33.125%), Chevron Canada Resources (26.875%), Petro-Canada
(20%), Canada Hibernia Holding Corporation (8.5%), Murphy Oil
(6.5%) and StatoilHydro Canada Ltd (5%). Operator: ExxonMobil
--Status: Producing/Complete
--Start-up Date: Producing since November 1997
--Estimated Reserves: Reserves of 3 billion barrels; 865
HALIFAX 00000045 002.2 OF 008
million barrels recoverable reserves
--Production: 140,000 to 150,000 barrels per day
--Details: Discovered in 1979, Hibernia is the largest
oil field offshore Newfoundland-Labrador and the first to be
developed. The production facilities feature a Gravity Based
Structure (GBS), topsides and offshore loading system.
--Web Address: http://www.hibernia.ca
--Latest Developments: A proposed expansion at South
Hibernia would add as much as 300 million barrels to the
recoverable reserves. The Hibernia partners expect to start the
expansion project in 2009-2010.
¶2. TERRA NOVA
--Type: Offshore Oil
--Location: Newfoundland-Labrador; 217 miles
east-southeast of St. John's
--Owner/Operator: Owners: Petro-Canada (33.99%),
ExxonMobil Canada (22%), Norsk Hydro Canada Oil & Gas (15%),
Husky Oil (12.51%), Murphy Oil (12%), Mosbacher Operating Ltd.
(3.5%) and Chevron Canada Resources (1%) Operator: Petro-Canada
--Status: Producing/Complete
--Start-up Date: Producing since January 2002
--Estimated Reserves: 370 million barrels recoverable
reserves
--Production: 140,000 barrels per day
--Details: Discovered in 1984, Terra Nova is the second
largest field offshore Canada's East Coast and the second to be
developed. Unlike Hibernia, Terra Nova uses a Floating
Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel system.
--Web Address:
http://www.petro-canada.ca/en/about/721.aspx
--Latest Developments: Petro-Canada will shut down
production at Terra Nova for a scheduled 16-day maintenance
program the last half of June 2008. In 2007, the project had
been plagued by minor problems, including two week-long
shutdowns in October and December for repairs.
¶3. WHITE ROSE
--Type: Offshore Oil
--Location: Newfoundland-Labrador; 217 miles
east-southeast of St. John's
--Owner/Operator: Owners: Husky Energy (72.5%);
Petro-Canada (27.5%) Operator: Husky Energy
--Status: Producing/Complete
--Start-up Date: Producing since November 2005
--Estimated Reserves: 200-250 million barrels recoverable
reserves
--Production: 100,000 barrels per day
--Details: Discovered in 1984, White Rose is the third
largest field offshore Canada's East Coast and the third to be
developed. Like Terra Nova it uses a purpose-built
floating-production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel and a
subsea production system.
--Web Address: http://www.huskyenergy.ca/operations/
canadaseastcoast/projects/whiterose.asp
--Latest Developments: Husky's future plans for White
Rose include developing satellite fields that should start
producing by late 2009.
¶4. HEBRON
--Type: Offshore Oil
--Location: Newfoundland-Labrador; 217 miles
east-southeast of St. John's
--Owner/Operator: Owners: Chevron Canada Resources
(28%), ExxonMobil Canada (38%), Petro-Canada (24%) and Norsk
Hydro Canada Oil & Gas (10%) Operator: Chevron Canada Resources
--Status: Planned/Proposed
--Start-up Date: Undetermined
--Estimated Reserves: 400-700 million barrels
--Production: 150,000 to 170,000 barrels of oil per day
--Cost: $7 billion-$11 billion
--Details: Discovered in 1981, Hebron has the potential
to become Newfoundland-Labrador's fourth offshore oil
development and the project could also include development of
the nearby Ben Nevis and West Ben Nevis fields. Like Hibernia,
the partners would use a Gravity Base Structure (GBS) to develop
the project.
--Web Address: http://www.chevron.ca/operations/
exploration/atlantic.asp
--Latest Developments: In August 2007, the project
partners signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on fiscal
and local benefits with the Government of Newfoundland and
Labrador. The MOU forms the basis for future formal agreements
on fiscal, equity and local benefits terms for a potential
development project. As of June 2008, the parties had not
HALIFAX 00000045 003.2 OF 008
reached agreement on any of these issues.

========================
II. Hydroelectric Power
========================
¶A. UPPER CHURCHILL
------------------
--Type: Power Generation
--Location: Newfoundland-Labrador; Churchill River,
Labrador
--Owner/Operator: The Churchill River Power Project is a
joint initiative of the provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador
and Quebec and their respective hydroelectric utilities, Hydro
Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro.
--Status: Producing/Complete
HALIFAX 00000045 007.2 OF 008
--Start-up Date: Operating since 1971
--Production: 5,428 MW
--Details: The massive hydroelectric potential of the
falls was realized for decades, but it was not until the
completion of the Quebec, North Shore and Labrador Railway in
1954 and the development of long-distance electric-power
transmission technology by Hydro-Quebec that exploitation became
feasible. Complex development negotiations between the
governments of Newfoundland and Quebec (through which the power
would have to pass) were not completed until 1969. The project
took nine years to build, employed more than 30,000 people and
cost $950 million. The first units began transmitting December
1971; the eleventh and final unit went into service in 1974.
--Web Address: www.nlh.nl.ca
--Latest Developments: The sales contract between the
governments of Newfoundland-Labrador and Quebec for the
Churchill power is a decades-long, contentious political issue.
Under the terms of the contract, which does not expire until
2041, the price that Quebec pays for the Churchill power is
fixed at 1969 prices. With the dramatic rise in energy costs
over the years, Hydro-Quebec has reaped substantial profits from
the resale of Churchill Falls power. The Government of
Newfoundland-Labrador has tried unsuccessfully to have the terms
amended and this issue is a factor in the current negotiations
over development of the Lower Churchill River.
¶B. LOWER CHURCHILL PROJECT
---------------------------
--Location: Newfoundland-Labrador; Churchill River,
Labrador
--Owner/Operator: Owned and managed by the Churchill
Falls Corporation, 51% owned by the Government of
Newfoundland-Labrador and 49% by the Government of Canada.
--Status: Planned/Proposed
--Start-up Date: Undetermined
--Production: 2,800 megawatts of power (enough to power
1.5 million homes)
--Cost: $6-9 billion
--Details: The existing 5,428 MW Churchill Falls
generating station, which began producing power in 1971,
harnesses about 65 per cent of the potential generating capacity
of the Churchill River. The remaining 35 per cent is located at
two sites on the lower Churchill River, known as the Lower
Churchill Project. These sites are considered two of the best
undeveloped hydroelectric sites in North America: Gull Island,
located 140 miles downstream from the existing Churchill Falls
Generating Station; and Muskrat Falls, located 38 miles
downstream from Gull Island.
--Web Address: http://www.lowerchurchillproject.ca
--Latest Developments: Should the project go ahead, there
will be a nine-year construction period which would begin at
Gull Island followed by first power five years later.
Construction of the Muskrat Falls would be started three years
after the start of the Gull Island construction. A major
decision that has yet to be made is how to transmit the power to
market: via an overland route through Quebec or via undersea
cables to the Island of Newfoundland and through New Brunswick
or Nova Scotia. Environmental impacts and an agreement with the
Innu Nation are other critical factors.
===================
III. Nuclear Power
===================
¶A. POINT LEPREAU GENERATING STATION
-----------------------------------
--Location: New Brunswick; Point Lepreau
--Owner/Operator: Owned and operated by the New Brunswick
Power Nuclear Corporation, a subsidiary of the
provincially-owned New Brunswick Power Corporation
--Status: Shutdown for refit until September 2009
--Start-up Date: Operating since 1983
--Production: capacity of 635 MW
--Details: Point Lepreau has one nuclear reactor, a
CANDU-6 unit, with net capacity of 635 MW. It was the first
CANDU-6 to be licensed for operation and to begin commercial
operation. The unit supplies about 30% of the energy consumed
in the province.
--Web Address: http://nuclear.nbpower.com/en/default.aspx
--Latest Developments: Point Lepreau is currently
shutdown for a $1.4 billion refit, (with a September 2009 target
for completion) which will extend the facility's life to 2032.
¶B. 2ND LEPREAU STATION
----------------------
HALIFAX 00000045 008.2 OF 008
--Location: New Brunswick; Point Lepreau
--Owner/Operator: The facility would be owned and
operated by the New Brunswick Power Nuclear Corporation, a
subsidiary of the provincially-owned New Brunswick Power
Corporation.
--Status: Under Consideration
--Start-up Date: Undetermined
--Production: 1,100 megawatts
--Cost: $4-5 billion
--Details: This project would involve building a new
reactor to complement the existing reactor at the Point Lepreau
site. An independent consulting firm said in February 2008 that
this project could be economically viable if the proponents
could confirm domestic and U.S. markets. However, LNG and
natural gas generation facilities could be major competitors for
a second plant.
--Web Address: http://www.gnb.ca/0085/Lepreau-e.asp
--Latest Developments: As of June 2008, the New Brunswick
Provincial government had not made a final decision to proceed
with the project.
===================
IV. Other Projects
===================

--Details: This is the second international transmission
line from New Brunswick to Maine.
--Web Address: http://transmission.nbpower.com/en/
intlpowerline/intlpowerline.aspx
--Latest Developments: NB Power is involved in a dispute
with New England utilities over tariffs on the line which has
left the transmission line underutilized.
¶B. RENEWABLE ENERGY PROJECTS
-----------------------------
Tidal power is a growing area of interest in Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. One Nova Scotia company, Minas Basin Pulp and Power,
will be building a $12 million plant designed to harness the
tides of the Bay of Fundy. Three other separate groups will
spend $12-15 million each testing their own tidal turbines at
this facility, the results of which will be used to evaluate the
potential for a full scale commercial tidal generating facility.
In other renewable energy projects, there are numerous wind
farms throughout the region that are nearing completion over the
next two-three years. The average size is approximately 35 MW.
