JOHN'S, N.L. — To say last Thursday’s failed tests of the Labrador-Island Link at a high power flow — which temporarily knocked out power to 58,000 customers — was disappointing may be an understatement at Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro.It’s taken a long time even to get to this point.
“This is a tremendously important issue for all Newfoundland and Labrador. For a long time a lot has gone wrong with the LIL, but I think we should have a sense of optimism about it. I think the fact we have proven this link can operate up to 500 megawatts so far is a huge benefit. It allows us to displace a significant amount of fuel at Holyrood ,” Collett said, addressing questions from media.
“I know there’s been a lot of pessimism for a long time about this link, but I think we have reason to be optimistic. We are crawling our way out of the trench on this, and we are going to slip backwards from time to time, but we are closer to the finish line than we’ve ever been and with the successful completion of these final tests we can call this thing commissioned, so we absolutely have reason to be optimistic.
