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.
