Licence Not Recommended by Bipole III Participants 22 March 13

Clean Environment Commission (CEC) hearings regarding the Manitoba Hydro 1400 km long dc transmission system called BiPole III ended March 15, 2013.

After 9 weeks of hearings, with a 3 month adjournment to prepare environmental statement for three BiPole III route changes, common ground among hearing participants were obvious.

Participants asked the CEC to not recommend a licence until insufficiencies and problems in Manitoba Hydro technical work are deal with.

The CEC has 90 days to prepare its report for the Conservation Minister. The Chair indicated its report would be made public 10 days after delivery to the Minister.
