A justice with the Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court on Friday approved an injunction against protesters blocking access to World Energy GH2’s wind test sites, according to a news report.
A group of protesters has been blocking an access road to one of World Energy’s sites, on Newfoundland’s west coast, for weeks, according to the CBC.
In an affidavit, World Energy GH2 CEO Sean Leet said the delay caused by the company’s inability to access work sites has stalled construction and thwarted data collection.
According to the news report, the protestors vowed to keep fighting the project.
The project is expected to produce the first green hydrogen by the end of 2Q24. The overall development plan includes three phases, including a 0.5 GW hydrogen facility at the Port of Stephenville, up to 164 turbines generating 1 GW of wind power (with a likely maximum hub height of 121m, plus a rotor diameter of 158 m, for a likely total maximum height of 200 m) and associated transmission and supporting infrastructure.
