Renfrew Region Electricity Plan Posted
December 22, 2022
The Renfrew region Integrated Regional Resource Plan, which considers regional electricity demand and supply conditions over the next 20 years, is now available online.
The plan identifies station capacity needs in the Pembroke, Petawawa and Laurentian Valley areas and recommends specific projects for implementation in the near term that includes the following package of solutions:
- Build a new high-voltage distribution station near Petawawa distribution station
- Following further analysis during the Regional Infrastructure Plan period, build either a new transmission station or a new high-voltage distribution station in the Pembroke area
- Perform a 2MW transfer of load from Forest Lea distribution station to Craig distribution station through an existing transmission tie-line
The report also recommends continued monitoring of potential long-term, high growth in the Petawawa region, and when deemed necessary, installing a capacitor to increase the load meeting capability of the sub-system.
