Why do this project? This project was required for a 330 MW Firm Point-to-Point transmission service request and a 170 MW Network Service request as part of the new Maritime Link HVDC interconnection between Nova Scotia Power and Newfoundl...

AI summary This project supports a 330 MW Firm Point-to-Point transmission service and a 170 MW Network Service as part of the Maritime Link HVDC interconnection between Nova Scotia Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro. It enables NS to export and import electricity, benefiting from economic transactions between NS, NB, and NL.

Why do this project this way? L6513 which is located between the 1N-Onlsow and 74N-Springhill substations was originally built in 1965 utilizing a wood pole H-frame/ timber cross arm design and was approaching 50 years of service. The line...

AI summary The L6513 power line, originally built in 1965, was replaced due to aging infrastructure and technical infeasibility of repairs. To minimize service disruptions, a new line was constructed alongside the existing one, allowing continued service during the upgrade. The new line meets modern standards and resolved long-standing operational issues.
