Wuskwatim Power License Update 26 January 06

MB Hydro power smart logoA December 22, 2005 letter from Manitoba Water Stewardship states that the sole shareholder and only partner of the Wuskwatim Power Limited Partnership is currently Manitoba Hydro. The Limited Partnership is registered as a numbered company. According to the document, the partnership may be amended to include Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) or an NCN-controlled entity but this would happen only after approval through referendum, of the Project Development Agreement by NCN members.

The letter also confirms that the Manitoba Government has confirmed that no waterpower license will be granted for the Wuskwatim Power Generating Station before Environment Act licenses are issued.
