Maritime Electric plans to start demolishing the smoke stacks in Charlottetown in 2022.
“The facility’s just so old,” company CEO Jason Roberts said. “Our goal is to have it fully decommissioned and the site cleaned up by the end of 2023.”
The company had applied to the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) a few years ago to decommission that portion of Charlottetown’s thermal generating station located near the waterfront. The building affiliated with the stacks is also slated for demolition. It houses what Maritime Electric refers to as its old steam plant, Roberts told The Guardian in a recent interview.
