Power tower repair near The Pas highlights blackout risks
The Pas relies on a diesel plant for power but faces a serious blackout risk as a damaged insulator requires hot line work. A four hour repair involved a 230000 volt live line, with crews from Thompson or Winnipeg using six foot tools to replace saucers on an 85 foot tower. Manitoba Hydro plans a regional power circle via Flin Flon to reduce outages.
