Irving Oil, province not divulging size of refinery’s carbon bill | CBC News
With less than
two weeks remaining until voters elect a national government, where
carbon pricing is a central issue, information on the potential effect
the policy will have on New Brunswick industry has been difficult and,
in some cases, impossible to come by.
two weeks remaining until voters elect a national government, where
carbon pricing is a central issue, information on the potential effect
the policy will have on New Brunswick industry has been difficult and,
in some cases, impossible to come by.
Last
week, in a new rate application to the province’s Energy and Utilities
Board, NB Power revealed for the first time publicly it expects federal
carbon costs on it to top out at $67 million per year by 2030, if the
province cannot get a provincial substitute plan approved.
That $67 million amount is “significant,” according to the utility, although less severe than earlier estimates.
