Sustainability in Action: A safe place to nest
When a great horned owl nest was discovered on a customer’s site near our Hussar 431S substation in 2025, our environment team helped two young owlets find a safer home. The owlets were successfully fostered into two active nests with chicks of a similar age. After the relocation, bird protection and a dedicated owl nesting platform were installed for future bird visitors.

Sustainable Electricity Designation
In 2014, AltaLink was honoured to be the first electricity transmission company, and only the second electricity company in Canada to receive Electricity Canada’s Sustainable Electricity Designation.
The designation is eligible for renewal every five years. In 2019, AltaLink became the first Canadian utility to be re-designated, reflecting our ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of our customers, communities and employees through sustainable business practices. AltaLink re-designated again in 2025.
The designation was developed for utility companies across Canada and requires utilities to commit to standards for environmental and social responsibility. In addition to the standards, companies must also pass a third-party external verification of their observance to the standard.
