Electricity generated will be transmitted to the Alberta electrical grid along a new 240 kV transmission line.
Currently there are two proposed transmission line interconnection options:
Option 1: Build 14 km of new transmission line in a new right-of-way and connect to an existing 240 kV transmission line.
Option 2: Build all of the new infrastructure for Option 1 + build an additional 10 km of line within or adjacent to the existing 240 kV transmission line right-of-way and connect to the Sagitawah Substation.
The grid operator will evaluate the options and make a decision to minimize technical and economic impacts to the grid.
