Power from the Taltson hydroelectric transmission system is expected to reach Fort Providence and Kakisa in the fall of 2023.(N.W.T. Power Corporation ) Hydroelectric power could be coming to Fort Providence and Kakisa in the N.W.T. as soon as fall 2023. The federal and territorial governments committed to funding a long-promised, $60 million transmission line on Friday that would connect both communities to the Taltson hydroelectric transmission system. Once built, it would reduce greenhouse gas emissions from diesel fuel by 2.75 kilotonnes — which represents 15 per cent of the territory's overall goal to reduce diesel emissions by 18 kilotonnes by 2030.
