Description

The development of any new power facility typically requires thorough environmental assessments and community consultations to identify and mitigate potential environmental and social impacts, which result in a constraining consultation and permitting process. It also requires providing long-term benefits to the local community through job creation, skill development and community investment to ensure the project’s acceptance and integration. This session will explore, based on the experience of various jurisdictions, how local integration can be best achieved.
