Keep the power here. Use it on loads that live here.
Open People is making this case in public: keep firm Churchill Falls and Gull Island power for loads that live in Newfoundland and Labrador. The province generates about 43 of green electricity a year and sends most of it across the Québec border. The , signed 17 August 2026, is a , not binding . The House endorsed that framework 21–18 on 17 September. Binding paper is still ahead. Mining and Labrador industry come first. We lead a proposed 500 MW Labrador on that power, in feasibility — a named use, not the opener. Mines are a real constraint. Detail on /compute.

5 Oct · PQ minority elected
Québec elected a Parti Québécois minority. Churchill Falls came up in the transition meeting. No decision.
01 — The situation
One paragraph.
Newfoundland and Labrador owns one of the cleanest large power systems in North America. Churchill Falls alone is 5,428 . For decades it has been sold at a small fraction of what firm, carbon-free power commands today. In May 2026 the found the not in the long-term public interest as written. It cited limited rights to use the power in-province. On 17 August NL Hydro, Hydro-Québec and CF(L)Co signed the DCIA, announced with Ottawa in St. John's. It promises more in public framing, a higher reported export price, a Labrador West line and a wind study. It is a framework, not binding PPAs. The House endorsed it 21–18 on 17 September, with no referendum. That vote does not create contracts. Binding agreements are targeted around 31 December 2026. That date is a goal and can slip. The framework can run to 31 March 2027. Québec elected a Parti Québécois minority on 5 October; cabinet is sworn in 21 October; the National Assembly returns 17 November. The province's stated industrial use is critical minerals. Mining matters, and it is first — a real constraint. Open People leads a proposed 500 MW campus on the same power. That campus is not confirmed as reserved megawatts, price, queue or policy preference.
02 — The asset
What the province actually holds.
Megawatts drawn by how hard the number is. Solid is published. Outlined is announcement language. Hatched is preliminary. Dashed is not published.
The province generated 44.3 TWh in 2023, and 43.1 TWh of it was renewable: 97.4%. It is hydro-dominated, dispatchable, and concentrated at a handful of interconnection points. For scale, 1,000 MW running all year is about 8.76 TWh. This is a large resource and a finite one. It should be allocated deliberately, not treated as limitless.
03 — The value gap
The export price is rising. The value-added still leaves the province.
Seven price families on one axis, each on its own row, labelled and not merged. Every rung carries its source. The one that would matter for a new Labrador load is blank.
Heritage export
What Hydro-Québec pays under the 1969-lineage renewal, to 2041.
Rejected 2024 MOU
The IRC's decomposition of the expired MOU's average into its two blocks. History.
Reported new HQ export path
Press and utility descriptions of the DCIA export price. Not a signed PPA cent.
Published Labrador tariffs
What Hydro posts today for Labrador households; the mine rate is a formula, not a rung.
Island grid (not Labrador)
A different grid and a different tariff. Shown so nobody quotes it as Labrador.
Québec data-centre rate (proposed)
What Hydro-Québec wants to charge compute at home. Context, not a Labrador tariff.
Signed industrial ¢ for retained power
The number that would matter for a new Labrador mine or any new load.
1969 renewal, two mills
Export price under a specific contract (2016–2041). Not a rate anyone here can buy at.
Each row measures something different. A starting price, a fifty-year average and a household tariff cannot be subtracted from one another. The desk labels them and refuses to merge them. Source for each rung is under its number.
Heritage export (1969 renewal)
Rejected 2024 MOU path (IRC)
Reported HQ ¢ path (not a locked PPA)
HQ proposed data-centre rate
Under the 1969-lineage contract, Churchill Falls export power is priced at two , 0.2 , until 2041. That is an export price under a specific contract. It is not a rate anyone here can buy power at today.
The rejected 2024 MOU averaged about 5.9¢/kWh in 2024 dollars. The Independent Review took that average apart: about 3.8¢ from 2025 to 2041, then about 16.7¢ from 2042 to 2075. That path is history. NL Hydro has said Hydro-Québec will pay 1.8¢/kWh from 2027, rising about 14% a year to 11.5¢ by 2041. That is a reported path, not a signed contract price.
Hydro-Québec's filed data-centre tariff is a demand charge of $32.704/kW-month plus 8.710¢/kWh for loads of 5 MW and up. Its February press release framed that as about 13¢/kWh. Those are Québec figures. This province has published no equivalent rate, and no firm-MW value, for Labrador data-centre load.
The number that would matter for a new Labrador mine, or any new load, is the signed industrial cent for retained power. No NL data-centre rate or firm-MW value has been published. We do not invent either.
Language discipline
The 0.2¢ figure is an export price under a specific contract. We never present it as a rate available to any customer today. Island retail sits on a different grid and a different tariff. This brief is a value-retention argument, not a grievance argument.
04 — The window
Why this is still a 2026 decision, not a finished deal.
The are the skeleton for contracts that do not yet exist. Each row below is a tracker entry with its own sources. Dates on the gate clock carry their status.
- Dec 2024
Province and Hydro-Québec announce an MOU
The province and Hydro-Québec announced a memorandum to replace the Churchill Falls terms and enable expansions, framed as a 2025–2075 arrangement. It expired 30 April 2026.
- 19 May 2026
Independent Churchill River Review reports
The Review found the MOU, as configured, not in the overall best long-term interest of the province. It flagged limits on using the power for in-province development, transmission access, pricing and governance.
- 2026
Cooperation paper signed
NL Hydro, Hydro-Québec, and CF(L)Co signed a cooperation paper in August. It is a framework for writing later contracts — not the contracts that lock the power.
- 2026
House said yes 21–18
The House said yes 21–18 after a special sitting, with no referendum. That is a political yes. It does not write power-purchase contracts.
- 18 Sep 2026
Back to the House — but no promised vote
The Premier says the deal comes back to the House before the binding contracts are signed. He has not said MHAs will get a vote. The next decision point may have no vote attached.
- 2026
Québec elected a PQ minority
Québec elected a Parti Québécois minority on 5 October. St-Pierre Plamondon met Fréchette on 13 October; Churchill Falls came up; no decision was announced. Cabinet is to be sworn in 21 October. The National Assembly returns 17 November.
- 6 Oct 2026
Material terms will not be reopened
NL Hydro’s CEO says the two utilities already agreed the material terms and will not reopen them. About 17 or 18 definitive agreements are still being finished. That is a utility posture, not signed contracts.
- 8 Oct 2026
PUB technical conference cancelled
The PUB’s 8 October technical conference was cancelled. Whether a later Board process attaches to the definitive agreements is still not written.
- /2026 / 2027
Binding contracts still unsigned
The parties still say they want the real contracts around year-end. That date is a goal. The mines minister has said slipping past 31 December is not the end of the world: the framework clock can run to 31 March 2027. While it runs, Hydro-Québec holds exclusive rights on Gull Island.
Public framing on announcement day: the province retains up to 2,350 MW from Churchill Falls and , plus 400 MW from Labrador wind if built. Not binding PPAs. Compute is still not named as a reserved use. On announcement day the mines minister named critical minerals. He did not name AI.
The corridor the mines need
The Review recommended new transmission from Churchill Falls to Labrador West specifically to enable energy-intensive industry. The August framework attaches money to that line. What is still missing is a public allocation: year, megawatts, place, price and line. Mines first — a real constraint — then other industrial load, including the 500 MW campus Open People proposes to lead.
Labrador West
Mining load on the two 230 kV lines. Those lines are at their operational limit. Press cite, not a PUB order.
Schematic only. Line lengths and positions are not a map. Select a part. Open the number for its source.
Hydro’s October contractor notice describes a 735 kV line from Churchill Falls to Labrador West with a 1,500 MW maximum — a ceiling, not a guaranteed block. Design work is aimed at December 2026. Construction contracts are expected early 2028. Nobody has published when it switches on.
Still open in the text
A consultant told the House a three-year notice recall could let the province keep more power at home. That is testimony. It is not confirmed in signed contract text. UNKNOWN.
wrote MHAs on 17 September urging a no vote, and says the paper cuts its benefits by more than half. On 21 September the Grand Chief said the Innu are ready to meet. No meeting is scheduled. Grand Chief Ashini of Innu Nation has said Innu were “never invited to the table”. Partnership, royalty and Gull Island tariff path remain open.
is still not filed with the federal . The 2012 review was on the order of 2,000 MW. The 2026 plant as described is larger. The Innu dispute is unresolved.
The public summary puts the estimated capital cost at $8 billion. The company that would own it, an , is unnamed and at NL Hydro's sole discretion. We do not invent a developer or a federal share.
Iron Bear wants nearly a third of the Churchill Falls expansions. Kami has Nippon Steel and Sojitz as partners. Those claims sit on the same unmetered retain. There is still no published queue.
The paper says retained power is for “domestic load” — and then lists ways leftover power can be sold west. What “used here” means in words a voter can check is still thin. UNKNOWN.
No NL data-centre rate or firm-MW value has been published. The signed industrial cent for retained power is blank. UNKNOWN.
05 — Neighbouring grids (context)
Demand has repriced power elsewhere. That is not a Labrador reservation.
Neighbouring-grid facts that used to open this brief now live on the campus page. They are context. They are not a Labrador reservation. The Material Terms still do not name compute as an industrial class. Open People leads a proposed campus anyway, in feasibility, against real mine and industry constraints.
The New England line came online 16 January 2026 and stopped 24–26 January when Québec held power back for its own demand. The New York line went commercial in May 2026, then had an outage for repairs. Those are Hydro-Québec’s routes. NL’s paper names equivalent access. It is not a wire NL owns.
Other provinces are rationing large new computing loads. That is neighbouring-grid context. It is not a Labrador booking, and it is not a reason to pretend mines are not on this system. Newfoundland and Labrador has no policy, no tariff, no allocation process and no project.
“Nobody builds AI infrastructure somewhere like Labrador”
Remote, cold and hydro-rich is the profile of the current build-out. Stargate Norway put a hydro-powered campus in Narvik, above the Arctic Circle. Meta has run a hydro-powered campus in Luleå, Sweden, since 2013. Google is expanding in Hamina, Finland. Training is latency-insensitive, so it goes to the power; inference stays near cities. Cold helps. Power decides.
Ottawa is looking for projects like this
ISED ran a call for 100 MW-plus data-centre projects from 15 January to 15 February 2026. That intake is closed. It can lead to a non-binding MOU, not a contract and not funding. A separate program, the Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Strategy, is a $2 billion Budget 2024 plan. ISED lists Indigenous participation as one of the 100 MW call's criteria. Any role is for each nation to decide. Partnership, if any, will be on terms each nation sets. No nation has been asked about this project. We found no Newfoundland and Labrador entry in the public record of the closed 100 MW intake, because there was no NL project to enter.
06 — The ask
Five things, none of which cost money.
The province is not being asked to spend, build or subsidise. It is being asked to write five instruments into the architecture of the binding agreements, or the provincial framework beside them, before those agreements lock. House endorsement is not that lock. Year-end 2026 is the public target. The framework can run to 31 March 2027.
Open People ask · not a government figure
- 01A named block. A scheduled allocation of Labrador capacity that can serve industrial load, including the 500 MW campus Open People proposes to lead. Drawn from the publicly framed retain from Churchill Falls and Gull Island (section 02), plus wind if built. No firm megawatts, price or queue for Labrador compute is confirmed. 500 MW is an Open People proposal, not a government figure. Mines and existing industry are real constraints on the same power.
- 02A transparent tariff. A published firm industrial rate, plus full network-addition cost causation. High enough to be unimpeachable after Muskrat Falls. Québec has proposed a data-centre rate (section 05). This province has not. We do not invent a cent.
- 03Allocation criteria that keep the value home. Score for NL majority ownership, creditworthy offtake, local employment and balance-sheet substance. ISED lists Indigenous participation as one of its criteria. Any role is for each nation to decide. Criteria, not a ban, are the durable answer to the Great North Data experience.
- 04An infrastructure audit. Direct NL Hydro to publish Labrador dark-fibre capacity and recall-block headroom, and commission a diverse-route fibre feasibility study. Near-term work on this campus is feasibility on costs and impact, in general terms.
- 05A federal handshake. Align the province’s in-province use with federal sovereign-AI goals, so a Labrador campus is not a leftover of someone else’s intake. That is a policy alignment, not a funding ask on this page.
Every megawatt and cent in this block is an Open People ask. None is a published rate, a reserved block or a government figure.
Item 1 belongs in the binding agreements' architecture or their enabling provincial framework. Items 2 through 5 are ordinary policy instruments the province can move before those agreements lock.
The cost of doing nothing
- 01The retained block defaults to mining and re-export. Public framing gives the province optionality on the retained block, plus wind if built. If other industrial uses, including compute, are not named as eligible, that optionality is spent on other files. Lawfully, and without a second chance inside this architecture.
- 02The federal build-out passes the province by. Every subsidised megawatt lands where a project was ready. The first intake already closed without an NL entry that we can find.
- 03Labrador's industrial story stays minerals-only. Mining is vital. It is also cyclical, and it employs at the mine, not at the grid.
- 042041 arrives with no domestic alternative. The province's leverage in any future negotiation is a credible in-province use for the power: mines, towns, other industry, and a campus that actually gets built. The absence of that leverage is why 1969 happened.
If nobody writes anything else, the paper already decides.
The Material Terms describe what happens to retained power that is not used at home. It has a buyer. Leftover megawatts do not sit still by magic.
Retained power
Public framing: up to 2,350 MW from Churchill Falls and Gull Island. Announcement language, not a signed allocation.
Framework, not executed. These are Material Terms for later contracts.
If NL does not use retained power at home, the paper already names ways Hydro-Québec can buy it — including a discounted default if there is no three-year notice. Leftover megawatts do not sit still by magic. What means in words a voter can check is still not written.
07 — Who builds it
Open People leads. Partners are proposed, not signed.
Open People is the proponent. Partnership, if any, will be on terms each nation sets. No nation has been asked about this project. Capital is unnamed here. None of those lines is a signed allocation, a signed impact-benefit agreement, or a named funder.
- Proponent
- Open People leads. We are the organisation proposing to build a 500 MW AI data campus in Labrador and a research campus beside it. Proposed. In feasibility. Not approved, not funded, not under construction.
- Power and site
- A written request to NL Hydro: capacity allocation, land at the point of generation, transmission. Phase 1 is a non-firm, interruptible pilot. No megawatts are reserved. Mines and existing industry remain on this system.
- Indigenous nations
- Partnership, if any, will be on terms each nation sets. No nation has been asked about this project.
- Capital
- Capital as a proposed partner, unnamed here. No funder, no customer, and no dollar figure is published on this page.
Capital does not create power; power attracts capital. Québec, British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta have each just demonstrated which direction that queue runs.
08 — Honest constraints
What is genuinely hard about this.
A case built on cheerleading will fail in this province, and it should. Five constraints are real. None is a reason to leave the block unwritten, because a block that is never reserved is a permanent decision in favour of exporting raw electrons.
Fibre is the weakest link
Labrador's terrestrial backbone is essentially a single route, built in 2012. Region-wide outages from single events are on record. Hyperscale campuses want multiple physically diverse paths. Labrador has approximately one.
The workforce is already spoken for
The Churchill expansion program will itself absorb the province's construction trades at camp premiums. Muskrat Falls remains the controlling cost precedent for remote Labrador construction.
Nothing large proceeds without Innu consent, nor should it
OpenRatification of any Innu Nation partnership on Gull Island remains unresolved. Innu Nation asked MHAs not to vote and says its benefits were cut by more than half. The Premier says he looks forward to sitting down; as of 21 September nothing is scheduled. That is a start, not consent, and not a partnership structure.
The Great North Data precedent
The province's one prior data-centre experience was a Labrador crypto operator that went bankrupt in 2019 owing money to the utility and public agencies. Municipal scepticism toward container mining is earned.
AI demand could correct
Lease cancellations in 2025 and a credible sceptic corpus warn of overbuild. If capex contracts later this decade, marginal sites die first.
09 — Who we are
Open People.
Open People is a Newfoundland and Labrador company. We lead a proposed 500 MW AI data campus in Labrador, and a research campus beside it: residencies, fellowships, gatherings, in the spirit of the Perimeter Institute and the Banff Centre. Proposed. In feasibility. Not approved, not funded, not under construction.
We are not a party to the DCIA. We are the proponent of the campus. Partnership, if any, will be on terms each nation sets. No nation has been asked about this project. No customers are named. Mines and existing industry are real constraints on the same power.
10 — Falsifiability
What we have not proven.
This document is meant to be argued with. The following are open questions, not settled claims, and we say so in every room.
- 01That the province will allocate firm Labrador power to compute over mining. Critical minerals are named first. Compute has to earn peer status on the merits. No firm megawatts, price, queue or policy preference for Labrador compute is confirmed.
- 02That fibre economics support a training cluster at hyperscale path diversity. A first node likely fits. Hyperscale is unproven until the route studies exist.
- 03That public-sector demand alone is large enough to bank a facility. It almost certainly needs commercial and federal co-funding alongside.
- 04That binding definitive agreements will be signed on the announced timeline, or that they will free near-term megawatts for a compute node. House endorsement of the framework is not that signature, and the Premier has not promised a vote on the final text.
- 05That a single industrial cent exists for Labrador mines. The current Labrador industrial schedule is a formula, demand charges plus a monthly energy mix. We do not flatten it, and we do not quote the 2015 schedule as current.
- 06The reconciliation between the public retain figure and other published splits of the existing plant. Public releases also give Gull Island as a range. We do not pick a number.
- 07That a three-year notice recall, as described to the House, appears in signed contract text. It rests on testimony. UNKNOWN.
- 08That 2026 Gull Island matches the 2012 Lower Churchill federal review scope. The project is still not filed with the federal impact assessment agency.
- 09The name of the wind company. The special-purpose entity is unnamed in the public paper. Agreement Summary p.13 estimates capital cost at $8 billion. We do not invent a developer.
- 10A contract definition of “domestic load” in anything published. UNKNOWN.
- 11An NL data-centre rate or a firm-MW value for Labrador industrial or compute load. UNKNOWN.
Standing rule
Every figure on this page is bound to a public primary or reported source, and shows it when tapped. Where a number is an estimate, a range or an illustration, it is labelled as one. Where the public text does not say, we write UNKNOWN. If something here is wrong, we want to know. Corrections change the document.
11 — Sources
Where the numbers come from.
Every source below is in our source registry and re-checked on the verified date at the top of the page. The same registry feeds the tracker, the ladder and the megawatt bars, so a number here and a number there are the same object.
