Power to get $31M from ratepayers for Michelin plant upgrade by admin 6 نوفمبر، 2024 written by admin 6 نوفمبر، 2024 42 Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board approved the application on Tuesday Anjuli Patil · CBC News · The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board has approved an application from Nova Scotia Power to spend $31 million from ratepayers for an electrical upgrade at the Michelin Tire plant in Waterville that should help with brief power disruptions. The upgrade is the installation of a dynamic voltage restorer that will boost load during brief voltage sags at the tire manufacturing facility. Nova Scotia Power is required by the province to ensure voltage is nearly instantaneously restored after a disruption to a transmission customer. The dynamic voltage restorer injects voltage within 1/100th of a second during a disruption. The province says its regulations are designed to help large industrial operations that have complained about brief power interruptions leading to production shutdowns and financial losses. In February, the president of Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. informed the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board in a letter that its Waterville plant “has received power quality that is less than the range specified” in the regulations and that the disruptions have become increasingly frequent in the last several years. After reviewing evidence and submissions, the review board said it accepted that the technology was necessary for Nova Scotia Power to comply with the regulations and that project costs — $31,170,675 — are “reasonable.” 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post PCs promise free shingles vaccine, Liberals commit to Halifax bridge and NDP focus on renter rights next post أول تعليق من حماس على فوز ترامب You may also like Wind and rainfall warnings issued for parts of... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 Pictou County District RCMP investigating serious crash involving... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 أوتاوا تنفي امتلاكها أدلة تربط ناريندرا مودي بأعمال... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 إحياء شهر التراث اللبناني من قِبل القوات المسلحة... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 أونتاريو: تشريع مقبل لحماية القادمين الجدد من الاحتيال... 23 نوفمبر، 2024 New poll shows Houston’s PCs maintaining big lead... 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Cape Breton Police issue emergency alert as they... 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Safety board calls for changes two years after... 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Fuel prices rise across Nova Scotia 22 نوفمبر، 2024 Halifax International Security Forum begins 16th year amid... 22 نوفمبر، 2024
