Abstract
The many attempts to develop the hydroelectric potential of Labrador during the period 1949-2002 were reviewed. The information was analyzed, and three major lessons were revealed. The author argued that Newfoundland was unable to match Hydro-Quebec's direct and indirect influence in the energy markets. Hydro-Quebec was found to be sensitive to the demands of Newfoundland regarding the redress of the 1969 Churchill Falls contract only in those instances when it directly suited the needs of the Quebec utility. There was also a substratum shift in North American energy markets, which created new opportunities. A detailed assessment of federal passive and active participation with issues associated with hydroelectric development in Labrador was provided. Specific recommendations were made to the effect that additional efforts must be expanded to capitalize on new opportunities in the North American energy markets.
