Maritime Electric is the supplier of electricity in Prince Edward Island, Canada. Maritime Electric is a public utility regulated by the Island Regulatory and Appeals Commission (IRAC) under the Electric Power Act and the Renewable Energy Act. Electricity rates and directives over all operations and expenditures are subject to IRAC’s approval.

On November 13, 2009, it was announced that the PEI government is in discussion with the province of Quebec in regards to providing electric power between the two provinces, which could lead to a long-term supply contract with Hydro-Québec, the construction of a submarine transmission line linking PEI and the Magdalen Islands, and, pending Fortis' involvement, the sale of Maritime Electric to Hydro-Québec. This followed the announcement of Hydro-Québec's proposed purchase of most of NB Power's assets two weeks earlier (which would later fail in March 2010).

1.42 min. | 4.6 user rating		 Satlynx Maritime provides a sophisticated platform through which an innovative triple-play service can be easily multiplexed into any cabin, technical or recreation room combining telephone, Internet access and a range of TV content including daily news, sports highlights and a selection of magazine shows. The service automatically switches between cost effective monthly flat-rate Ku-band satellites, and usage-based Inmarsat or Iridium. This gives it independence from any single satellite system, reduces cost of operation, and delivers more for those on-board ship. This objective is to ensure that transmission on every vessel is maintained at all times while travelling through Ku-band beams and in-between through beam switching with ABS and re-routing via the different communication paths available.

Rosneft geologists discovered a large new oilfield within Mogdinsky and East Sugdinsky license areas in Katangsky District of Irkutsk Region (East Siberia). Rosneft obtained the licenses for both plots through the auction in 2006. Royal Dutch Shell's apparent change of investment emphasis away from the oil sands could put future Canadian projects in jeopardy.

Visit My San Pedro mysanpedro.blogspot.com for more about San Pedro and Wilmington, California (images, history, misc.). This panorama of Wilmington Harbor shows the resulting desolation from many years of underdevelopment after maritime commerce moved back to San Pedro when Banning lost his monopoly over the transportation of goods and passengers between the harbor and Los Angeles. General Banning is commonly referred to as the Father or founder of the Los Angeles Harbor. But when the really big fish entered our little pond of Los Angeles in the form of the Southern Pacific Railroad, maritime commerce by-passed our local monopolist and his personally controlled city of Wilmington (Wilmington lost its original charter as a city because Banning had faked the qualifying prerequisites) and moved back to the main channel in San Pedro. This led to an impoverishment of the Wilmington area during the boom years of the late 1800s from which some might feel it has never fully recovered since the development of its harbor area was delayed for about fifty years (making Wilmington the industrial backwater of the San Pedro and Long Beach harbors for much of the 20th century).
