Oh my .....can we bring back Andy Jones to make another movie like Rare Birds, to highlight the non stop schemes to benefit certain people and corporations, inside and outside the province, and saddle the poor unfortunate citizens with perpetual poverty with ripoffs of our natural resources, and ever increasing debt funded by borrowing, and power bills that will cntinue to rapidly rise for decades. And breaking/ ignoring the laws on the books.
And Nfld Hydro, now proceeding with a 2 billion expenditure, a new gas turbine, and unit # 8 at Bay deEspair that adds no new energy, (plus another billion on keeping the ancient Holyrood units running) that still leaves the Avalon dependant on expensive fossil fuel electricity production, after spending 15 billion of the grand boondoggle of Muskrat Falls, that is only still sending about 50% of rated power to the island, and very unreliable!!!!!!. Couldn't the brighter ones of Grade 9 students come up with better planning of the resources of our energy warehouse? Part of the answer is "blowing in the wind" as Bob Dylan sang, but our wind for ratepayers long ignored, and freely given away. Make no wonder Liberty Consultants pulled out advising the PUB,..............dump and dumber, combined with corruption can't be reformed. Good advice is always ignored, nothing changes.
I have some Fortis shares I can share, or give some dividends to the needy ...........how best to do that? Maybe tell Ed how bad your situation is and he can make recommendations to me.
With only about 2 % of our power capacity supplied by wind, and a tremendous wind resource, I fail to see why Nfld Power or others are got permitted to add significant wind energy capacity. Nlld Power has perhaps only less than 100 MW of the over 1700 peak winter load, many very old but maintained and still producing very low cost power. Nfld Power typical buys most all electricity from Nfld Hydro at voltages 69 kw and lower and stepped down at distribution voltages, having many miles of power lines to communities, businesses and residents. Wind power is generated at relative low voltage and stepped up to feed the grid. It would seem that Nfld Power would be very efficient at owning, maintaining, and distributing wind energy, at various sites, for benefits to keep power rates lower, to conserve water and safe on the cost and reduce pollution of fossil fuels used by Nfld Hydro..............so why is this never happening, .........does Nfld Power/ Fortis even push to do that???
Your observations and the advice coming from them are all well-founded and sensible, which is why there is no chance in hell that anyone in any position of authority and responsibility Newfoundland and Labrador would ever take it.

This wind proposal won’t actually add to the capacity. It will basically displace water or lower use of petroleum fuel.
But it will fool the punters.
