Labrador West Transmission Expansion Study

Hydro is currently undertaking a study to explore the feasibility of an expansion of the electrical transmission system in Labrador West to support future industrial developments. Ensuring Hydro’s industrial customers in Labrador West have access to this renewable energy will further reduce carbon intensity, and support Canada’s climate policy and green global supply chains. By addressing current infrastructure limitations, the transmission upgrade will bolster energy reliability for local industries, supporting both existing iron ore mining operations and future critical mineral projects. This increased reliability aligns with Canada’s broader climate objectives, positioning the province as a key player in North America’s sustainable resource supply chain.
