Trent Vichie, CEO and founder of EverWind, said: "This is a monumental day for EverWind and the communities on the Burin Peninsula. We have been working on, and investing in this project since March 2022, and we are truly honoured to have been selected by the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador as one of the successful projects."
For its Burin Peninsula Green Fuels Energy Project, EverWind will convert renewable power from wind into green hydrogen and then into green ammonia. This will then be transported safely around the world and used as green fertilizer as well as a green energy source. EverWind's wind farms are expected to be generating power on the Burin Peninsula by 2027.
Brian Keating, Chair of the Burin Peninsula Energy Board and Mayor of Marystown, said: "I am incredibly proud to see how communities across the Burin Peninsula have come together to support this project. Green energy is not only the key to global environmental sustainability, it is also the key to the economic and social prosperity of the Burin Peninsula."
