That would need to be done before going to EFSEC. And if they did, then they would also have to offer the same deal to CPD. And since CPD is closer to breaking ground then they would be first to use the remaining capacity. Which makes an application to EFSEC by Laidlaw unnecessary until the grid issue can be addressed.
And that is only one obstacle Laidlaw has to overcome before submitting an application. Just too many obstacles for Laidlaw to overcome IMO.
