The initial transmission line was built in the late 1980s into northern Saskatchewan to serve the mining load as well as to tap off into distribution substations to feed local communities in that area. To date, we only have one community that's left on diesel. It's a community by the name of Kinoosao. It's on Reindeer Lake and is very remote from any transmission or distribution line. The cost to serve that line is very high, because in a sense it would require a submarine cable to go under the lake and over to serve a community of just a few hundred people.
