This seems incredibly suspicious. If I were in a position of power at all, I'd be wanting to call for an investigation over NB Power trying to sneak this gas plant in under our noses. #nbpoli https://globalnews.ca/news/11899800/nb-power-gas-plant-prevent-blackouts-executive-says/

"Batteries counter the long-used arguments against renewables – that they are unpredictable and intermittent and therefore put extra burdens on a national grid which must have an expensive backup power source such as gas in place. Instead, batteries mean solar power can be stored and used when it is needed."
