The Premier's new Energy Commission wants to hear from as many people as possible as it spends the next six months cobbling together a new energy policy for the province.

So claims one of the better known members of that Commission, the former Minister of Energy and Finance, Jennot Volpe.

He tells Tide News there's one key question on his mind going in and that is how can the Province be more efficient in producing power and set up the best model for both the Province and rate-payers.



Volpe is confident the problem of NB Power's debtload can be overcome. He maintains it was worse back in the early 90's after Belledune was built.
