Proponent: Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro
Summary of Environmental Assessment Process
Project Description:
The proponent proposes to decommission the L1301 transmission line located in Labrador, (previously known as TL240), which is a de-energized wood pole transmission line that was completed in 1977. The total length of the line is approximately 269 kilometres and it connects Churchill Falls Terminal Station 1 to Muskrat Falls Terminal Station 1, near the Muskrat Falls Hydroelectric Generating Facility. With the completion of the Muskrat Falls to Happy Valley Interconnection in 2021, the L1301 transmission line is no longer required to deliver power to communities in eastern Labrador. It is anticipated that the decommissioning activities would occur over five years and would involve the dismantling, removal and disposal of material.
