NB Power and Nova Scotia Power Inc. are exploring the possibility of building a new transmission connection between southern New Brunswick and Colchester County, Nova Scotia.
The proposed connection would have a transmission capacity of up to 500 megawatts which, when added to the existing 300-megawatt connection, would more than double the transmission capacity between the two provinces. It would also enable a series of other partnerships on energy between NB Power and Nova Scotia Power and its parent company, Emera Inc.
The announcement was made today in Fredericton by Premier Shawn Graham, Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter, Gaëtan Thomas, president and chief executive officer, NB Power, and Rob Bennett, president and chief executive officer, Nova Scotia Power.
