More time for Islanders to comment on environmental assessment for project in Eastern Kings

Islanders will have an extended opportunity to comment on the environmental impact assessment for the proposed 30 mega watt wind project in Eastern Kings.

The public comment period is extended by one month – from December 20, 2019 to January 20, 2020 – due to the delay of a report on bird migration and bat studies.

A public information session was held November 19, 2019 at the Eastern Kings Community Centre and as outlined under the Environmental Protection Act, the public has 30 days to comment after the proponent holds their public information session.

The PEI Energy Corporation Environmental Impact Statement and supplementary report are available at Projects Under Environmental Review.

To view the statement and report, enter the word ‘Kings’ under project and click search.
