Return to Written Question 23-19(2): Practice of Using Power-Limiting Devices in the Northwest Territories
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to written question 23-19(2) asked by the Member for Nunakput on March 4, 2021, regarding the practice of using power-limiting devices in the Northwest Territories.
The data for the Northwest Territories Power Corporation was compiled at 12:00 noon on March 5th. The numbers fluctuate on a regular basis due to the timing of Northwest Territories Power Corporation's billing cycles. The Northwest Territories Power Corporation had 72 residential load limiters in place. There had been a total of 336 load limiter instances since collection activities resumed on November 9, 2020. These instances could be multiple occurrences on a single location and does not represent 336 unique customers.
For the Northland Utilities Ltd. Limiters, a breakdown of the number of load limiters per community for both Northland Utility companies as of the week of March 15, 2021, is as follows:
Northland Utilities Ltd. (Yellowknife):
Yellowknife - two load limiters
Northland Utilities (NWT):
Hay River - four load limiters
Hay River Reserve - two load limiters
Enterprise - one load limiter
Fort Providence - one load limiter
Trout Lake - four load limiters
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
