Coleson Cove Generating Station Refurbishment
 

On October 10, 2002, NB Power received the Provincial Government's conditional environmental approval for the Coleson Cove Refurbishment Project. In early December 2002, construction began and in December 2004, the project was completed. The Station is the largest in the NB Power system and provides one-third of New Brunswick's energy requirements during the winter months. During construction the Station continued to operate, as each of the three units was refurbished separately, thus ensuring reliable power generation for the people of New Brunswick.

The refurbishment of the Station will allow NB Power Generation to meet stricter environmental requirements and produce reliable generation to 2030. Equipment installations and modifications were designed to reduce SO2 emission rates by 77%, NOx emission rates by 70% and particulate release rates by 75%.
