The article discusses the collaborative effort among Atlantic Canadian provinces, led by New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs, to pursue renewable energy development and secure a hydrogen supply deal. During a meeting in Stephensville, N.L., the four premiers, including those from Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, signed a 'declaration of intent' with Canada and Germany regarding hydrogen supply by 2025. Premier Higgs emphasized the need for a unified approach to evaluate royalty regimes and engage stakeholders to avoid discrepancies and delays in energy projects. The statement released by the premiers highlighted the region's potential for meeting future energy demands and stressed the importance of a synchronized regulatory and royalty framework. The focus is on fostering collaboration, rather than competition, within Atlantic Canada to position the region as a global leader in the emerging energy industry, offering significant growth opportunities. By working collectively and involving key stakeholders like First Nations, the aim is to create a conducive environment for sustainable energy development and economic prosperity in the region.
