Avalon Combustion Turbine, Holyrood
A roughly 150 MW combustion turbine at Holyrood — an $891M, four-year program starting on site in 2026.
What’s being built
NL Hydro is building a combustion turbine of about 150 megawatts at Holyrood to firm up supply on the Avalon. Early execution is under way with site construction beginning in 2026 and close-out around 2030, against a published cost near $891 million. This is classic industrial mechanical work — turbine and generator setting, large-bore piping, high-voltage electrical, instrumentation and controls — and it is the biggest energy job on the Avalon that is actually proceeding.
