The Independent Energy Systems Operator Nova Scotia (IESO NS) has proposed a natural gas plant in Pictou County, with applications due by December 31. Local council members raised concerns about water usage and potential well depletion, prompting the development of a comprehensive agreement to address these issues. Environmental assessments for the proposed sites will be publicly available from December 22 to February 9, and a groundwater withdrawal permit is required from the Department of Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change.
