The new generator was installed, tested and then placed on standby in December. “We don’t expect the new unit will have to be called into operation frequently – it’s there as a contingency, to assist during peak periods of demand on the system.”

A new transformer at Oxen Pond has been installed, as well as a replacement transformer at Sunnyside. The existing generating units in Holyrood, the gas turbines in Stephenville, the Bay d’Espoir plant, among other assets, have all received upgrades in 2014 to improve reliability.

For even more emergency capacity, Hydro has entered into an “interruptible load arrangement” with Corner Brook Pulp and Paper. In the case of an unexpected power shortage, Hydro can turn to the mill for assistance. Hydro is in discussion with other industrial customers for similar backup arrangements.

“We are also working to educate our customers a little more on what they can do to be more conscious energy users,” says Rob. “Showing them how to conserve energy effectively and how it can make a difference.”

Hydro has revised its severe weather preparedness protocol and also developed an advance notification system for conservation requests or power rotations if we near peak capacity.

“Things can happen. Severe weather can cause problems,” Rob says, frankly. “But, thanks to the commitment and hard work of Hydro employees, we have a lot more resources this year, and we have the power system in very good state, ready for this winter.

OUTLET - WINTER 2015 3 LEADERSHIP PROFILE

John MacIsaac, Vice President, Asset Management, Project Execution and Engineering Services

AS THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE TO LEAD NALCOR’S CONTINUED PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE IN ASSET MANAGEMENT, PROJECT EXECUTION AND ENGINEERING SERVICES, JOHN MACISAAC CAN ATTEST TO THE LINKS BETWEEN SAFETY AND ASSET MANAGEMENT ACROSS ALL LINES OF BUSINESS.

“They are priorities one and two within our strategic business objectives,” says John. “Both are top of mind for our entire team and both are essential cornerstones for our long-term success.”

But the connection between safety and asset management goes even deeper. John says it comes down to mindset: the same thoughtful, deliberate approach is applied both to securing the safety of all Nalcor employees and to ensuring the continued reliability and high performance of the company’s assets.

Asset management, like safety, is not an end goal, but a journey. “We have made significant progress in both areas,” John continues. “We are not searching for a silver bullet or a quick fix… we have set our sights on consistently achieving excellence. It takes a lot of hard work from the whole team.

“We are committed to that work and we embrace and celebrate the year-over-year improvements we are making.”

While the work is not – and may never be – done, John says, “our toolbox is full.” The necessary processes, structure and plan for long-term reliability and sustainable growth are in place. So are the key ingredients for success: “the quality of our people, our commitment to each other as a team and our relentless pursuit of excellence.”

On that note, John acknowledges that 2014 has been a demanding year, but the team has risen to every challenge. “I want to take this opportunity to say thank-you to all of our team members for their work in 2014,” he says. “We have great people, a great team and it shows.”
