This is an advanced First Nation led power transmission project - started five years ago - that should include at least four of the five Ring of Fire communities. Martin Falls might be a bit too far to the east.

When you look at the phase two map in the preliminary business plan, the main power line comes reasonably close to the Ring of Fire communities.

Encouraging the Ring of Fire communities to join this partnership would probably be the fastest way to bring grid power into the ring. However, the caribou crowd is opposed to this route due to alleged impact on Woodland caribou.

A competing project Sagatay has the backing of only two FN communities.
