Building Trust and Value Through Dialogue and Collaboration - Seite 2

The facility uses a range of educational resources to help visitors understand the tunnel's technology, engineering, safety features and overall function. These include life-sized diagrams and murals; geological information about the area; core samples from the project's geotechnical program; and information about how officials manage interactions between nearby infrastructure and ship traffic in the Straits.

The Information Center will continue to complement our numerous other methods of community engagement around the Great Lakes Tunnel Project, including in-person and virtual meetings and open houses, presentations and tours of Enbridge facilities.

Saint-Nazaire: Stakeholder consultation at the heart of the project
EDF Renewables and EIH S.à.r.l, a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc. and CPP Investments, have achieved a significant milestone as France's first commercial-scale offshore wind project, the 480-megawatt Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Project. Located between 12 and 20 km from the southwest coast of France, the wind farm will help support the French state's energy transition goals, which include targets to generate 32% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030. After nearly three years of construction, the Saint-Nazaire Offshore Wind Project first produced electricity at the beginning of June 2022 and proceeded to incrementally connect its 80 wind turbines to the national electricity transmission network. Throughout the development and construction phases, the project team worked closely with local stakeholders. Environmental protection associations, such as France Nature Environnement, Bretagne Vivante, the League for the Protection of Birds, and associated experts from the National Museum of Natural History, National Institute of Research for the Exploitation of the Sea and independent design specialists provided the knowledge needed to design the wind farm while respecting its environmental considerations and biodiversity. Fauna and flora were rigorously monitored during the various phases of the work and environmental monitoring will continue.

A fuel-switching opportunity in Tennessee
Like many areas across the U.S., Tennessee is exploring opportunities to replace coal-fired power generation with cleanerburning, lower-carbon natural gas. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), an electric utility, is studying the possibility of replacing the energy some Tennesseans currently receive from the Kingston Fossil Plant with natural gas.
