We are starting to develop a new transmission project in your area – the Vauxhall Area Transmission Development (VATD) – and we want your input. The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) has identified the need for this project to meet the growing demands for electricity in the area.
The Vauxhall Area Transmission Development includes two projects:
- 610L Transmission Line Replacement: Building a new transmission line and salvaging a portion of an existing transmission line in the Municipal District of Taber
- 879L Transmission Line Restoration: Modifying and replacing select structures along the existing 879L transmission line in Cypress County
