AI summary
- Wti filed BTY Consultancy Group Inc. IE Status Reports #4 (period ending April 30, 2026), #5 (May 31, 2026), and #6 (June 30, 2026) with the NSEB on August 27, 2026, pursuant to the Board's direction in Matter M12217 and a quarterly filing schedule approved April 23, 2026.
- Across all three reports, BTY confirmed the total project budget remains $684,684,600 (including AFUDC and grants) with a Project Schedule Commercial In-Service Date of October 10, 2028; all major milestones are listed as 'On Schedule.'
- No draw requests were submitted under the CIBC credit facility during Q2 2026; WTI is funding costs incurred to date from alternative sources, so no Independent Engineer Advance Certificates have been issued.
- Report #6 (June period) disclosed the first notable site conditions: larger-than-expected boulders at Salisbury Substation required additional hydrovac resources, and three health and safety incidents occurred (heat exhaustion, arm injury, road damage near Memramcook substation).
- WTI requested Confidentiality treatment under Rule 12 for portions of all three reports, citing commercially sensitive scheduling and supplier information, third-party proprietary data, and the geographical location of critical transmission assets.
