Mercer has applied to have the Celgar mill's green energy project (the "GEP") approved as an eligible project under the GTP and, if approved, Mercer currently expects to use the majority of the GTP funding credits for the completion of the GEP. The GEP includes the installation of a 48 megawatt condensing turbine and upgrades to the mill's existing power boiler and steam management facilities.
Mr. Jimmy S.H. Lee, President and Chairman, commented that: "We are very pleased with the credit allocation and expect to implement the energy project with funding from such credits. We believe that once completed, the GEP will position the Celgar mill among the world's best NBSK mills in its ability to maximize the value of converting wood residues into high quality NBSK pulp and green power."
Mercer has signed a ten year electricity purchase contract with B.C. Hydro, British Columbia's primary public utility provider, for the sale of power generated by the GEP. The timeline for construction and completion of the GEP will be announced once a funding start date has been determined with NRCAN and a contribution agreement is in place.
