Our provincial transmission system includes 7,500 km of transmission and distribution lines that span through some of the most geographically challenging and isolated areas of our province. This system includes dozens of high-voltage terminal stations and lower-voltage distribution stations, connecting power from Labrador to the island and all the coves, towns and inlets along the way.

This system also includes three 35 km submarine cables that stretch along the seabed of the Strait of Belle Isle. When it was completed in 2016, this marine cable crossing was the first ever physical connection between Labrador and the island of Newfoundland.

While it is not a Hydro asset, the Maritime Link, owned by EMERA, includes another set of subsea cables spanning along the seabed of the Cabot Strait, connecting our transmission systems in Newfoundland and Labrador with Nova Scotia. This connection enables the transmission of reliable, renewable electricity from our province, to our neighbours in Nova Scotia, and beyond.
