To connect the proposed wind project to the grid, Piikani Resource Development Ltd. plans to construct a new
substation, named Piikani 1149S Substation.
To accommodate the project, AltaLink is proposing to:
- construct approximately 10 km of new 138 kilovolt (kV) transmission line along
one of two potential routes from PRDL’s proposed Piikani 1149S Substation to
AltaLink’s existing Windy Flats 138S Substation - install two new 138 kV circuit breakers and associated equipment at the Windy
Flats 138S Substation - install optical grounding wire (OPGW) between PRDL’s proposed Piikani 1149S
Substation and AltaLink’s existing Windy Flats 138S Substation
