The AESO has also directed AltaLink to prepare a facility application to complete work to restore the capacity of the 500 kV intertie transmission line between British Columbia and Alberta to its original design.

The Intertie Restoration Project includes:

• Adding equipment underneath the intertie transmission line west of Highway 22.
• Increasing the transmission line’s ground clearance in certain locations.
• Work at the Bennett Substation near Calgary where the line terminates.
