A proposed high-voltage transmission line connecting the Yukon to the North American power grid could unlock billions in economic growth, create thousands of jobs and dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new report from the Yukon Development Corporation (YDC).
The $4-billion project would link the Yukon’s isolated energy system to the Western continental grid at Bob Quinn Lake, B.C.
- Generate up to $7.6 billion annually in long-term economic benefits
- Support 36,000 jobs over 50 years
- Help replace nearly five million litres of diesel fuel each year in six northern communities
The Yukon currently operates on a stand-alone power system, relying mostly on hydroelectricity, diesel generators and liquefied natural gas.
