The mayors of Haut-Madawaska and Edmundston, accompanied by key officials from the Northwest region, met with NB Power executives last Monday. Following the meeting, which focused primarily on the reliability of the L0070 line, the executives indicated that studies will be conducted to modernize the Baker-Brook and Clair substations. Another study will examine the possibility of creating a loop in Haut-Madawaska to improve grid reliability and restore power quickly during major outages.

Regarding the L0070 line, NB Power confirmed that a new line, the L0150, will be built and could be completed by 2029 if the schedule is met. Approximately 2 km of this line is already in place, with nearly 4 km remaining to be built, according to NB Power.

Updates will be shared with you as the project progresses.

Nancy Ann Landry,
Mayor
