The electric transmission grid currently serving the Saginaw Bay region was constructed in the early 1900s and has experienced minimal investment since that time. In particular, the Almeda-Twining section of the Saginaw River-Twining 138 kilovolt (kV) line has become increasingly unreliable as growing demand for electricity and outdated infrastructure technology have taxed its service capabilities during certain times of the year, especially on high-demand summer days.
