Churchill Falls - Misc.

---

These very large pipes house the cables used to transport electrical power from the generators to the transformers on the surface, a distance of 1,000 feet (305 meters).

The aluminum transmission lines eventually join into the Quebec Hydro Power grid and transport electricity for use in the eastern portions of Canada and the United States. Once produced, the power has to be transported across the Churchill River. These transmission wires span 1,828 m or 1.8 km (6,000 ft or 1.1 miles) across the Churchill River. Including sag, these wires measure 2,286m (7,500 ft) and are stabilized on specially designed towers on either side of the river.
