On today’s show, CHMA talks with John MacIsaac, president of PROENERGY Canada, a subsidiary of the Missouri-based company which has been chosen by NB Power to build and operate a new natural gas power plant near Midgic. NB Power recently purchased the property where the new plant will be located, just off Route 940, near Centre Village, inside municipality of Tantramar boundaries.
MacIsaac talks about the location, technology, jobs and potential local impacts of the plant.
