    World Energy GH2 is already at the final stage of environmental assessment which should be approved in October.

    Things are really looking up for the Bay St. George area. The transfer of ownership of the airport to Carl Dymond has taken place. Yesterday, Industry Minister Andrew Parsons gave four wind-hydrogen projects the green light to go to the next step of development. World Energy GH2 is already at the final stage of environmental assessment which should be approved in October. Minister Parsons says it’s taken some time to get to this point since wind-hydrogen development is new. He says while it’s great to have investors wanting to develop here, there’s a right way to get it done. The projects are anticipated to have an overall economic impact (GDP) of $206.2 billion, and revenue to the province of $11.7 billion.
