To connect Dow Chemical Canada’s (Dow) substation Main Site BLK 80 1199S to the grid, AltaLink is proposing changes to its transmission system within the City of Fort Saskatchewan and Sturgeon County.

To connect Dow’s proposed project to the grid, AltaLink is proposing to:

• build two new 240 kilovolt (kV) single-circuit transmission lines between Dow’s project and AltaLink’s existing substation called Lamoureux 71S
• modify existing transmission lines to accommodate the construction of the two new lines
• remove the existing D782L transmission line that is no longer in use and is not connected to the grid
• add or modify associated structures and equipment as needed
• install underground fibre optic cable and optical ground wire
