Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador announced an energy deal this week that will triple the capacity of the Churchill Falls generating station. The deal was made in collaboration with the federal government: Ottawa is to contribute $10 billion toward upgrades, alongside related projects. The deal replaces the 1969 pact and the 2024 memorandum of understanding between Hydro-Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, which jointly own the station.
