Learn MoreNalcor Energy is currently planning the development of a 2800 MW hydroelectric project on the lower Churchill River in Labrador. The Lower Churchill Project is the most attractive undeveloped hydroelectric project in North America. Hydro projects have long timelines and their viability is highly dependent on the expected hydrological regime of the watershed. Climate change is expected to alter this hydrological regime, leading to changes in the amount and timing of runoff. The current research aims to develop more site specific climate change predictions, and to translate these climate changes into changes in river flow. Results of this research will be beneficial to Nalcor in their decision making and planning process.
