Pickle Lake Transmission Line

An environmental assessment is in progress for a new transmission line to Pickle Lake.  The two-phase project was presented last night at an open house in Dryden.  Phase one would provide the required power for First Nations communities who currently are serviced by diesel generation.  Committee member of the Corridor Energy Group Richard Habinski says diesel comes with quite the price.  Habinski says they are working with the provincial government to access funding for the project.
