Edmonton to Calgary Transmission Reinforcement
The AESO proposed the critical transmission system development between Edmonton and Calgary in the Long-term Transmission System Plan, issued in June 2009. The project has been designated as critical transmission infrastructure in the Government of Alberta’s Electric Utilities Act.
Transmission facility owners AltaLink and ATCO have submitted Facilities Applications for this project to the Alberta Utilities Commission.
AltaLink has proposed to build one line located on the west/centre portion of the province, connecting the existing Wabamun Lake hub west of Edmonton to the Calgary area hub near Langdon. ATCO Electric has proposed to build one line located on the eastern side of the province connecting the Heartland hub northeast of Edmonton to a southern hub in the Brooks area.
