  "summary": "The governments of Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador are set to make an \"energy security\" announcement, reportedly related to a potential deal concerning the Churchill Falls generating station. The announcement is expected to take place in St. John's, N.L., with Premier Christine Frechette, Premier Tony Wakeham, and Prime Minister Mark Carney in attendance. The deal would see Hydro-Québec and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro share energy from the Churchill River in Labrador, a project that has been ongoing for months. The existing Churchill Falls plant, owned by both provinces, has a capacity of 5,428 megawatts and currently supplies about 15% of Hydro-Québec's electricity.",
