Current forecasts have deep cold coming for #Newfoundland, and with it, a potential strain on the power system. How much? We can tell! A couple neat links:

Ack! Power out again in the east end, #yyt. :(

@taco the links (one to N.Scotia also) should greatly improve stability for the kind of failure we saw last week (baseload). Our distribution ain't too bad since #darknl, a lot of ongoing improvements. Watt for watt, prob the better of Ontario these days.

If the Lab link worked, we would have a lot of capacity for heating (and EVs). Muskrat is just the preamble though, part of why it is half a wreck. Gull Island is the goal and the LIL not working oddly benefits that, for now.
