Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro says the issues have pushed a round of high-power testing to late March or early April

The Crown corporation’s latest report says a new glitch was discovered in the software that runs a subsea cable stretching across the Strait of Belle Isle, between western Newfoundland and eastern Labrador.

Rob Collett, N.L. Hydro’s vice-president of engineering, says the high-power testing will determine if Muskrat Falls can smoothly deliver 700 megawatts of power to the province’s grid. In an interview, Collett said that if the high-power testing fails and reveals more problems, he and his team will likely have to wait until October or November for power demand to once again be high enough.
