Muskrat Falls to Churchill Falls Transmission Line

Two Parallel 315 kV Alternating Current (AC) Transmission Lines

There are 490.4 km of transmission lines from Muskrat Falls Hydroelectric Generating Facility to the electricity infrastructure at Churchill Falls.

This project was an exciting challenge for Valard, due to the vast/difficult terrain, extreme weather conditions, numerous river and infrastructure crossings, and isolation.
