The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, through the Department of Energy and Mines led by Minister Lloyd Parrott, has issued a public expression of interest for the potential divestment and future development of the publicly owned Buchans Generating Facility. The initiative invites interested parties to submit proposals via the MERX tendering platform detailing prospective uses, economic benefits, long-term operational plans, and opportunities for regional development and Indigenous participation. Submissions for the facility close on October 20, 2026, at 4:00 p.m., allowing the provincial government to assess market interest and determine a competitive divestment approach.
