The Newfoundland and Labrador government is determined to collect royalties from the province's nascent renewable energy industry, especially in the context of wind-powered hydrogen projects. Despite the sluggish green hydrogen market, Minister Steve Crocker highlighted the government's commitment to ensuring appropriate royalty regimes for projects that transition to wind energy. The province has a fiscal framework in place to benefit from projects using wind power to produce hydrogen, including land fees, wind-electricity tax, and water royalties. While six companies have reserved Crown land for green hydrogen projects, challenges persist in securing viable agreements with buyers, prompting some companies to consider wind-to-hydrogen pivots. Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro is set to release an expression of interest for renewable energy, where discussions on royalties and benefits will occur. With high hopes for the sector's growth, the government is optimistic about the future of wind-to-hydrogen projects, with significant interest and ongoing development processes on the island.
