Ontario Power Generation in talks to help New Brunswick s problem-plagued nuclear station theglobeandmail.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from theglobeandmail.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
N.B. Power’s vice-president of nuclear power will earn around $1.3 million this year, about 30 per cent more than what the utility said last week. The utility said it was “an honest mistake” when it gave a much lower figure last week.
New Brunswick’s energy minister says N.B. Power would have to justify the high salary paid to its vice-president nuclear if an Ontario company ends up helping run the Point Lepreau power plant.
Premier Blaine Higgs said there are ongoing talks between the utilities that range from advice on maintenance to OPG taking over operations at Point Lepreau.
