An electric power plant in eastern Canada has been scheduled for dismantling and demolition by its owner.
Nova Scotia Power has targeted the Glace Bay Power Station for dismantling starting in May, according to a report from Industrial Information Resources Inc. The plant has not operated since 1994.
The power plant has five steam turbine/generators and several boilers. The company will seek to sell used equipment for its salvage value before selling what remains to scrap dealers.
Nova Scotia Power and its parent company, Emera Inc., Halifax, have determined that it would not be economical to restart the Glace Bay units and bring them up to current environmental standards, according to the Industrial Information Resources report.
