Presentations covered the NGCP 69kV transmission line system, Area 3 operational updates, SUKELCO\u2019s distribution system grid connection, and power supply and power rates. These discussions helped participants better understand the benefits of the project and its impact on consumers, businesses, and local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
