The agreement doesn't expire until 2041.<br /> <br /> Completed in 1972, Churchill Falls is one of the largest power installations in the world.<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&call_pageid=971358637177&c=Article&cid=1112181499422">here</a>
