What Are the Economic Benefits of the DGR Project for Labrador and Its Communities?

The DGR project in Labrador is designed to be an economic catalyst, providing a substantial and sustainable financial foundation that benefits not just the project but also the broader community. Here’s how:

1. Revenue Generation:

  • Intake Fees: The project anticipates $60 billion in intake fees over 30 years, garnered from providing storage solutions for used nuclear fuel from around the world.
  • Investment Income & Other: Additional income sources are estimated to bring in $12 billion, resulting in a total projected revenue of $72 billion.

2. Economic Surplus:

  • After accounting for project expenditures estimated at $21 billion, a substantial economic surplus of $51 billion is projected. This surplus provides room for significant investments back into the community in addition to rewarding our investor partners.

3. Investment Trust Fund:

  • Fees collected will be channeled into an Investment Trust Fund aimed to grow up to $50 billion. This fund will serve as a reservoir of patient capital, offering long-term financial security and creating avenues for various community development projects.

4. Employment Opportunities:

  • The construction, operation, and maintenance of the DGR will generate direct and indirect employment opportunities for the residents of Labrador.

5. Infrastructure and Services:

  • A portion of the project surplus can be allocated to bolster local infrastructure, including healthcare, education, and transport, making Labrador a better place to live and work.

6. Community Involvement:

  • Residents have the opportunity for active participation in economic planning, ensuring that the benefits are tailor-made to meet the community’s needs and aspirations.

7. Long-term Sustainability:

  • With a growing global need for used nuclear fuel storage solutions, the DGR project aims to capture 9% of the global market share, securing long-term economic sustainability.

Through these avenues, the DGR project is committed to generating multifaceted economic benefits that align with community development and environmental stewardship goals, setting an example for large-scale projects worldwide.
