The Dexter government is only releasing a small number of the 57 documents it received about the province's plan to increase the amount of green energy generated here.
The province released five of the submissions containing advice about the province's draft renewable electricity regulations but only after The Chronicle Herald filed a request under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.
The government sought public input on its new renewable energy strategy in May, and the public had until July 23 to submit ideas.
After being denied access to the submissions, The Chronicle Herald filed its request Aug. 25.
The material released to the newspaper offers advice on plans to increase the province's renewable electricity supply. The province wants 25 per cent of its electricity to come from green sources by 2015.
