908L and 904L transmission line projects
New 908L transmission line
904L transmission line rebuild
Project overview
Construction is underway on the 908L and 904L transmission line projects.
The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) has requested AltaLink complete system upgrades in the Edmonton region to:
- remove bottlenecks which restrict transmission line capacity
- address the changes in Alberta’s electric grid due to the future retirement of a coal-fired electricity generator at Wabamun and the growth of wind generated electricity in southern Alberta
- meet the increasing electrical demand in Edmonton and the northeast region
Project details
New 908L transmission line: AltaLink is building 12 kilometres of new transmission line, named 908L, between the Keephills substation area and an existing transmission line, named 904L, near Jack Fish Lake.
904L transmission line rebuild: AltaLink is rebuilding 50 kilometres of an existing transmission line, named 904L, between the Jack Fish Lake area and the Petrolia substation located in the City of Edmonton.
