EVREC

EVREC (Exploits Valley Renewable Energy Corporation), a joint venture between Abraxas Power and EDF power solutions, is building one of the world’s largest energy transition projects in Botwood, Newfoundland, Canada.

Using 3.5 GW of 100% renewable wind energy and 150 MW of solar power, EVREC will produce up to 180,000 tonnes of zero-carbon hydrogen and approximately 1 million tonnes of green-certified ammonia every year, offsetting over 1.5 million tons of CO₂ annually.

With a CAD 12B investment, this project will inject $7.8B into the GDP and create 21,600 person-years of employment, transforming the local economy and powering a greener future.

Location

Situated at the mouth of the Exploits River, the town of Botwood, in Central Newfoundland, has a rich history of industrial change that includes logging, shipbuilding, and lumber. Botwood was once home to pioneering aviation activities, including the first trans-Atlantic flights by the famous flying boats and housed an RCAF base during WWII.

The economy of Botwood grew to include a busy shipping port for local pulp and paper-related industries and shipping copper, lead and zinc to the rest of the world. The deep-water port was a vital, bustling hub until the emergence of the internet, when newspapers and physical mail were replaced by digital communication.

The Port of Botwood is one of the closest ports in North America to Western Europe.

OUR MISSION

We’re shaping the future of energy by harnessing the power of wind and solar to be a competitively priced producer of green hydrogen and ammonia globally. Our mission is to deliver clean fuel solutions for global industries—driving sustainability, creating lasting value for our partners and communities, and protecting the planet for generations to come.

To unlock the power of renewables in Newfoundland & Labrador and drive the global energy shift to net-zero. We envision a world where the hardest-to-decarbonize industries are fueled by sustainable energy—and where remote natural resources can spark opportunity, resilience, and climate sustainability.
