To connect Eastervale Solar Inc. (Eastervale Solar’s) solar and storage project to the grid, AltaLink is proposing a new transmission line and other changes to its transmission system. The project is located in the Municipal District of Provost No. 52, approximately 17 kilometres south of the Village of Amisk.
To connect their proposed solar project to the grid, Eastervale Solar plans to construct a new substation, named Eastervale 1090S. AltaLink is proposing changes to its system to accommodate the connection of Eastervale Solar’s project, including:
- minor upgrades or modifications to existing associated structures and equipment as needed
- constructing up to four kilometres of new 240 kilovolt (kV) transmission line (to be named 1047AL) along one of two potential routes
- installing a new telecommunications tower in the proposed Eastervale 1090S substation
