ENL'S GEOGRAPHY

With offices in both St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador and Halifax, Nova Scotia, ENL’s core responsibility is to manage the Maritime Link. The Maritime Link is a key transmission asset including almost 400km of overhead HVDC lines and a pair of 170-kilometer sub-sea transmission spanning cables in the Cabot Straight. The Maritime Link alone provides approximately 20% of Nova Scotia’s electricity with power generated from the Muskrat Falls generating station in Labrador.

BRINGING THE MARITIME LINK TO LIFE

Spanning 170 kilometers underneath the Cabot Straight, the Maritime Link was a massive undertaking that required problem solving, hard work, and dedication from hundreds of people across Newfoundland & Labrador and Nova Scotia. It took an entire project team and over 5.3-million-person hours of work to complete the Link.

The Link was designed to provide clean, reliable, and renewable energy to Nova Scotia for 50 years and was a massive undertaking from everyone involved. Watch this video and learn more about how the Maritime Link went from the board room to reality!
