  • Southern Alberta Transmission Reinforcement

Cypress Substation Upgrade

Project overview

AltaLink is currently completing public consultation for this project and wants your input for the proposed substation upgrade.

The Cypress Substation Upgrade is part of an area transmission development called the Southern Alberta Transmission Reinforcement (SATR). This reinforcement includes new transmission lines and upgrades to the electric system in southern Alberta. These projects will connect new wind-generated power to Alberta’s electric system and strengthen the transmission system in the area.

 

Project details

The proposed project includes:

  • adding a static VAR compensator (SVC) control system to the substation
  • constructing a new substation diameter
  • expanding the substation fence line
