Meander River Essential Power Upgrade Project

The Meander River Essential Power Upgrade Project (the "Project") will replace an existing single phase power system with a three phase power system to deliver sufficient and efficient energy to the Town of Meander River. The Project will follow the existing right-of-way of the current power system and includes approximately 5% new construction for a padmount transformer within the Town of Meander River.

The scope of the project includes:

  • Convert 60 km of 14.4 kV one (1) phase overhead powerline to 25 kV three (3) phase overhead powerline;
  • Installation a 300 kVA 347/600V padmount transformer; and
  • The replacement of all utility poles.

This project will facilitate the meeting of basic needs of powering the community; allowing clean water delivery, effective wastewater management, opportunities for industry development and permit residential development to ensure sustainability of this northern community.
