To connect Sunrise Solar Project Limited Partnership’s (Sunrise Solar) proposed Sunrise Solar Project to the grid, AltaLink is proposing changes to its transmission system. The project is located in the Municipal District of Pincher Creek, approximately five kilometres north of the Town of Pincher Creek.

To connect their proposed project to the grid, Sunrise Solar is constructing a new substation, called Colony. AltaLink is proposing changes to accommodate the connection of the project, including:

• constructing approximately 180 metres of new 138 kilovolt (kV) transmisson line
  (to be named 412AL) to connect the Colony Substation to the grid
• modifying AltaLink’s existing 412L transmission line to connect to 412AL
• installing between 250 metres and 1.5 kilometres of underground fibre optic cable
