Regional Assessment of Offshore Wind Development in Newfoundland and Labrador

There are now two regional assessments. For the Nova Scotia regional assessment, please visit Regional Assessment of Offshore Wind Development in Nova Scotia.

The Regional Assessment will be conducted for areas offshore Newfoundland and Labrador.
