| PROJECT INFORMATION | Wataynikaneyap Power—composed of 24 Northwestern First Nations communities—partnered with FortisOntario and RES Canada to develop and operate the transmission facilities to connect 17 remote reserves to the power grid and transition them away from diesel generation. The plan calls for a 1,800-kilometre transmission line broken into two phases: a 300-kilometre line to Pickle Lake, and transmission lines to connect the communities north of Pickle Lake and Red Lake. Wherever possible, the new transmission lines and construction access roads will be constructed along the paths of existing all-season roads, or the paths of future all-season roads as identified by the First Nation Communities. Distribution stations located in or near each First Nation community, with new connections to the existing distribution facilities will be built. The proposed distribution stations are required as a point of transmission distribution at each First Nation community. |
