It was recommended by the Enterprise Network in the late nineties, that a large industrial user of Natural Gas be located near the source of local Gas, and with this "anchor" industry plus the co-generation of Electricity using Natural Gas, an "Energy Park" would keep the Gas here for the benefit of the Province. 

By owning part of the gas and oil wells, keeping more gas and oil in the province thereby lowering the costs to newbrunswickers, it was felt that this was a project worth pursuing... especially as the gas deposits are reputed to be the largest inland find in the world.

However, the province of New Brunswick failed to invest in these resources... Business NB has been unable to make a business case for a gas driven "energy park"... A major study by ADI determined that making electricity from Natural Gas, "co-generation", is not viable... and large industrial plants were not drawn here by the promise of lower cost natural gas.

	From this auspicious beginning, the Fundy Renewable Energy Park Action Committee was born.

After more than a year of study, interviews and challenges, FREPAC is recommending that a "Green Renewable Energy Park" be located in our area. Power Point Presentation PowerPointViewer Program
