To connect Neoen Renewables Canada Inc.’s (NRCI)’s project to the grid, AltaLink is proposing changes to its transmission system. The project is in the municipal district of Willow Creek, approximately seven kilometres southwest of Fort Macleod.

To connect NRCI’s proposed project to the grid, AltaLink is proposing the following:

• constructing a new 240 kilovolt (kV) switching station, called Stowe 1133S,
  which will be adjacent to NRCI’s proposed substation
  
• installing three 240 kV circuit breakers at the new switching station
  
• modifying two existing transmission structures
  
• installing approximately 700 metres of new 240 kV transmission line to connect
  the new switching station to an existing transmission line in the area; the
  proposed customer station will be connected to the switching station
  
• installing approximately 75 metres of underground fibre optic cable
