LEPREAU, N.B. - Construction has begun on a new power transmission line intended to boost New Brunswick's ability to export electricity to the United States.
Premier Shawn Graham and the presidents of NB Power and Bangor Hydro turned the sod on the project today near New Brunswick's Point Lepreau nuclear power station.
The new 345-megawatt line is in addition to an existing 700-megawatt line that's about 30 years old.
New Brunswick Energy Minister Jack Keir says the new line will be especially useful if a proposed feasibility study recommends the construction of a second reactor at Point Lepreau.
The New Brunswick portion of the line covers 95 kilometres and will cost about $60 million.
NB Power spokesperson Pam MacKay says the line should be in use
by Dec. 1, 2007.
