NATURAL GAS
Officials from the City of Brandon and nearby municipalities support Manitoba Hydro's turbine project, announced by Premier Wab Kinew. The $3 billion initiative involves building three combustion turbine units at the Brandon Generating Station to meet peak power demands.
Natural gas pipelines will connect rural municipalities Elton and Cornwallis to the main line. Open houses for public engagement are set for late February and early March, with construction potentially starting in 2028.
