Auditor general critical of N.B. Power’s ‘haphazard’ gas plant decision process

New Brunswick Auditor General Paul Martin's latest report is highly critical of the decision-making process that led to a $2.8 billion, 25-year agreement between N.B. Power and ProEnergy to build and operate a 500 megawatt gas and diesel power plant in rural Tantramar. Martin says analyses were done after the fact, and the agreement leaves the utility open to risks.
