Electrical Power: Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro

Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro: Our government has no higher priority than to fuel the growth of opportunities and a region that is growing in industrial activity needs a secure supply of electrical power, Marshall said. , according to The Telegram. As part of the decision, the Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities PUB will maintain its role to review the costs incurred by Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro, and to set rates for customers in the province. All planning, design and construction activities pertaining to the transmission line will be exempt from approval by the board. A news release notes construction of a third transmission line will help to supply power for planned new developments, such as the Kami Iron Ore Project, and improve reliability for all customers in the Labrador region. Nearly three weeks ago, on the day that I was sworn in as premier, I said the decision on a new power line for this region was imminent. Today, I am announcing that the decision is made and we will be moving forward with the construction of a third line to supply power from Churchill Falls to western Labrador.
