Overhead Line to be Recommended in Facility Application
Over the past two years of consultation with the public about the proposed Heartland project, stakeholders have shared their comments and concerns with us on many topics, such as Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF) and potential visual impacts, as well as associated potential effects on property value. Through personal consultations, open houses, information centres and other means, the Heartland Team has provided additional information regarding these and other issues. After much consideration and analysis, the Heartland Team has concluded that an overhead transmission line solution along the East TUC route meets all project and regulatory requirements, and has the least overall impact, taking into account all relevant factors. In our Facility Application to the Alberta Utilities Commission, we will include two options for the Heartland Transmission Project:
- Recommended Option: a 500 kV double-circuit overhead line along the East TUC route.
- Alternate Option: a 500 kV double-circuit overhead line along the West Route.
