Focal points: New EHV line across St. Lawrence river will provide 735 000-volt power supply for Quebec

A 735 000-volt power line, which is believed to set a record in extra-high-voltage transmission, is being constructed this summer across the St. Lawrence River. By 1974, when three other similar transmission lines are scheduled for completion, Quebec´s power availability for industrial development will thus be almost doubled. It is estimated that the finished enterprise will produce almost 6 million kW.
