One of which has broken down completely, and depending on what day it is how it is going to be replaced. The latest is mid February to get a block and drive shaft in and for it to be rebuilt using parts of the old unit.This is what NL Hydro call a new unit.<br />Of the remaining two units one keeps giving trouble and needs constant monitoring. NL Hydro claim two units can meet the demand, they may but are overworked IMP, hence the outages.<br /><br />WE are very careful Sham, Fran is the holder of the candles and does a great job monitoring them.<br />We can get by without the TV, but harder without the computer.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17616269412884770034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20438373.post-16299081656438161952013-01-10T20:30:36.101-04:002013-01-10T20:30:36.101-04:00You;re having so much trouble with the hydro, but ...You;re having so much trouble with the hydro, but make sure you're careful with the candles!

If this is correct why was there a warning to conserve energy if 2 generators were operational during the holidays? Can 2 generators not provide the town with enough energy during peak times? Gilbert Bennett of Nalcor did say during the panel discussion on Muskrat Falls that if power demands could not be met by the current generation that additional generation would be provided.
