Wind Farms	Where to send the Power?
	And what about Nai Kun then? – see below

Katabatic – was in Kitimat last Friday to explain why it needs to hook up to the BC power grid there --

Getting on the Grid??

‘—the only existing grid point that can accept 700 megawatts’ – See their Site

Which introduces the question where will NaiKun power go?

And does the Banks Island connection have anything to do with Alcan power going/ not going into the grid?

And does either have anything to do with the Highway 37 electrification?

The latter could cost ‘us’ about 335M$ to build

May 2007 ---The transmission line is primarily overhead transmission line; and, depending on the option selected by NCWE, will include underwater cable crossings in Principe Channel and in Douglas Channel (Option 1a) or an underwater cable crossing Principe Channel (Option 1b). NCWE considered transmission route options to interconnect to existing BCTC power grids near Port Edward, Port Essington and Kitimat. Through a preliminary analysis of interconnection points by NCWE, the BCTC power grid near Kitimat is currently the only existing grid point that can accept the 700 MW of power that will be generated by the proposed Project.

I was unable to find any information on the ‘grid’ in NW BC ---- what its capacity is on various sectors and what future planned for it

NaiKun wind Farm

main Web site

Touches land at Porcher

Uniterre changes name to NaiKun Wind Energy Group (TSX VENTURE:NKW NaiKun Wind farm in Env Assessment until Apr 28th --- Here is the NaiKun EAO page w links to documents etc 387K PDF description of Wind farm at EAO --- and here is the ad run in PR with how to comment instructions – note – wind farm + cable to PR (sea bed and terrestrial –Porcher, Smith) included

Name changes & H2

1) Back in 2002 Michael Burns was in PR and spoke to Council – ironically it was too windy for him to cross Hecate and council was 2^nd option – I still see his name associated with various identity changes of the company --- Here is another of my pages from 2002 where I suggest Uniterre is a stock play

2) George Hayes suggests Nai Kun would not have to get on grid but could use electrical energy to produce hydrogen fuel that could then be barged to US consumers
