Bridge lane closed from 9 a.m.–11 a.m.to allow electric transmission line work

TH Online - June 5, 2013

The new Salem-Hazleton transmission line closes a “loop” in the high-voltage transmission system, creating a more reliable and customer-friendly power grid.

ITC operating subsidiaries have sent 63 utility crew members to assist in restoring power to customers affected by the recent storms on the East Coast.

ITC will build, own and operate portions of four of the MVP projects in the Midwest region. These projects are expected to provide broad regional benefits and support energy policy mandates.

The amount of energy produced by this generation is approximately the same as the electric energy consumed by 200,000 homes.

ITC Holdings Corp. has assumed operational control for more than 4,500 miles of transmission lines and 208 substations acquired last year from Alliant Energy in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and Missouri.

ITC remains committed to addressing the historic lack of investment, known reliability and congestion issues, new mandatory reliability standards and the interconnection of renewables.

There is a critical need for further electric transmission development in the Upper Midwest to harvest the region's strong wind energy potential.

Decision benefits renewable and other efficient new generation resources

Grants to Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, Job & Small Business Recovery Fund and the Hawkeye Area Community Action Program will help rebuild the community following the June floods.
