Transmission projects in Alberta require approval from the Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) before they can be built. This ensures that the transmission development is needed and planned in a way that reduces overall impacts and is in the public interest. There are two approvals required for this project: the need for the project and the routing and siting of the new facilities to be built.
There are two approvals required for this project: the need for the project and the routing and siting of the new facilities to be built.
The need for new transmission projects in Alberta is identified by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO).
The AESO submitted their Needs Identification Document (NID) Application to the AUC for approval in December 2023. The AUC is currently reviewing that application (proceeding number 28633).
For more information on the AESO and the need for this project contact:
EPCOR is responsible for planning the location of the new substation and proposing route options for the new transmission lines.
The AUC will review the Facility Application and, if approved, they will also select which route to build (preferred or alternate). Once EPCOR submits its Facility Application, you can also provide feedback directly to the AUC.
*EPCOR would like to include your feedback in our Facility Application and can do so if received by July 31, 2024. If you are not able to respond by then, you can still provide your feedback directly to the AUC once the Facility Application has been filed.
For more information on the AUC's process see their brochure - Participating in the AUC's independent review process to consider facility applications.
