TransCanada Corp and Atco Ltd have shelved plans to build a C$5 billion (US$4.85 billion) dam and hydro project on the Slave River in Alberta, Canada, after a local native group refused to back the project, wire services reported.
The planned run-of-river hydro project would have generated 1,200 to 1,300 MW of electricity, reports indicate.
The project, first proposed two years ago, was still being studied, but the partners could not win the support of regional aboriginal groups
Once again, the problem with winning local/regional support. This is really becoming a billion $ problem, isn’t it?
