The Newfoundland and Labrador government Monday announced terms of reference for an upcoming inquiry into the Muskrat Falls hydroelectric project. The construction site of the hydroelectric facility at Muskrat Falls, Newfoundland and Labrador, is seen on July 14, 2015. The government now estimates that Muskrat Falls, which will generate power on Labrador's Churchill River, has a current budget of $12.7 billion, including financing costs. While Indigenous groups will be able to have standing at the inquiry, the terms of reference don't address the environment. A subsea cable will carry some of Muskrat Falls power from southwestern Newfoundland to Nova Scotia.
