About Northwest Transmission Line

By Bill Bennett, Kootenay East MLA

1. Construction of the Northwest Transmission Line – a 344-kilometre line that extends BC Hydro’s power grid north from Terrace – is now complete and the line is in service.

2. The NTL is a nation-building project that will deliver affordable, reliable and clean energy into the northwest corner of our province – opening up world-class mineral deposits and supporting the development of new mines and clean energy projects.

3. The first projects to connect into the line are AltaGas’ $725 million Forrest Kerr project, the largest single intake run-of-river project in B.C. and Imperial Metals’ Red Chris Mine – a $540 million project and one of the top 10 copper gold deposits in the world.
