To connect their proposed solar project to the grid, Rising Sun plans to construct a
new substation, also named Rising Sun.
AltaLink is proposing changes to its system to accommodate the connection of
Rising Sun’s project, including:
- constructing up to 3.5 kilometres of new 138 kilovolt (kV) transmission line
(to be named 715BL) along one of two potential routes - adding one structure on AltaLink’s existing 715L transmission line to
accommodate the connection to the proposed 715BL - installing optical ground wire on the new 715BL transmission line
- removing and salvaging approximately 30 metres of conductor on the
715L transmission line at the existing Metiskow Substation - installing a new telecommunications tower in Rising Sun’s proposed
substation
