Blackout probe shifts to prevention plans
Federal investigators focus on preventing a repeat of the Northeast Canada blackout. The Ontario Hydro plant at Queenston caused the outage by a relay break at Sir Adam Beck No. 2, tripping lines and overloading U S transmission facilities. The plan calls for stronger controls, larger interconnections, spinning reserves, and possibly high voltage direct current links to deliver power without triggering wider failures. The study aims to reconstruct the crisis and shape recommendations for the President.
