The work that we have done around the Hydro Strategy and, more
specifically, on the Taltson, as the information has become available, it’s caused us to have another look at how we would continue with the work that’s been done on Taltson, looking at the grid connections here in the Northwest Territories as well as to southern potential customer base that is there. We know that Alberta is going through quite a process of having to remove its coal generation, so there’s a potentially large client there.
One of the meetings I’ve had with the chair of the corporation, and he shared this with the board, is that we need to look at the work that we’ve done on the Taltson to see how we can expand that work now, is there an economic base to look at the grid connection here in the NWT with a grid connection to southern Canada. It is also an issue that we raise numerous times when we meet with whether it’s western Premiers or the Council of Federation, where they talk about an east/west grid. We also remind them there needs to be a north/south grid. So we continue to work along those ways to see how we can continue to grow that potential.
