NL Premier Andrew Furey was asked about new issues such as one of the generators at Muskrat Falls and the transmission line. “If you look at where we were 3 years ago, the project has made incredible progress and of course, whenever there is a technical issue it is frustrating for everyone,” he says. “The team has made incredible progress to get this project nearly fully commissioned. While this is a setback, I think it will be resolved and the project will be back on course. We were able to create a deal that lessened the burden for people of prov, and I have full confidence it will be completed.“
