Following termination of the modular genset contract with Virdi Power earlier this week, NTPC has awarded a contract for the final two 1.2 MW units to Collicutt Energy Services.
Collicutt Energy is one of the largest power generation sales and service providers in the West and operates multiple branches in Canada and the United States. NTPC has recent experience with this supplier, which constructed the Variable Speed Generator module under contract with Innovus for our generating station in Aklavik.
NTPC has terminated a contract it signed with Virdi Power in 2015, which included the manufacturing and installation of five modular gensets for the Jackfish Lake Power Generating Station. Three units were delivered and successfully commissioned in late 2017 after two years of delay.
NTPC has lost confidence in Virdi Power’s ability to successfully deliver the final two modular gensets. Termination of the contract was determined to be in the best interest of the NTPC shareholder and customers and to ensure the reliability of the Jackfish Station.
Under the terms of its contract with Virdi, NTPC does not expect to be charged for any work done prior to termination of the contract for breach of a fundamental condition, which in this case is schedule.
Further information will be provided when it becomes available.
NTPC has started to install Intelligent Meter Hub (IMH) meters in all of our NWT communities because our current meters are at the end of their life. NTPC has been using similar metering technology in different communities throughout the NWT for over 10 years. The IMH meters are the current industry standard. They are two way RF (radio frequency) meters, which will help improve safety and reliability, enhance customer service, and improve our operational efficiencies.
Check out the IMH Implementation Project page in the Customer Service section of PowerLine to learn more about the project, and to find out when IMH technology is scheduled to be rolled out in your community!
