Merchant/Contracted Transmission

ITC believes in a comprehensive planning approach to developing HVDC solutions in support of the AC infrastructure that ensures ongoing reliability, security and the ultimate cost-effective delivery of energy. 
International Grid Development

ITC applies its expertise in solving energy challenges to address transmission needs beyond the domestic footprint.
U.S. Grid Development

ITC works across all RTOs and non-RTO service territories, to identify partnerships and strategic business alliances with existing transmission owners (municipal, cooperative or investor-owned utilities).
Interconnection

ITC works with energy partners to identify commercial development opportunities to build new transmission lines required for improving reliability, reducing cost of delivered power and accessing renewable energy sources.

How ITC Develops the Grid

Acquisition


ITC’s track record of success is demonstrated by the successful acquisitions of ITCTransmission, METC and ITC Midwest.

Construction


ITC Great Plains’ green field development in Kansas and Oklahoma marked the creation of the first new utility in America in 100 years.

ITC Interconnection

Through our ITC Interconnection team, we work closely with those interested in connecting to the transmission grid by facilitating load interconnections that can improve reliability and reduce costs of delivered power while we also handling operations, maintenance and NERC compliance for those facilities.

ITC Lake Erie Connector

The ITC Lake Erie Connector Project is a 1,000 MW bi-directional HVDC submarine transmission line that will provide the first direct electrical connection between Ontario’s Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and PJM Interconnection, LLC, the regional transmission organization which, as part of the Eastern Interconnection in the U.S., coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia.

ITC Big Chino Valley Pumped Storage

The proposed Big Chino Valley Pumped Storage Project will use energy storage technology to anchor new electricity transmission infrastructure as an all-encompassing, integrated energy solution to the region’s growing energy needs.

The proposed project involves significant investment to develop a large-scale, 2,000 MW closed loop pumped storage hydro facility, one powerhouse and two reservoirs covering 420 surface acres. The project also includes three transmission interconnections to serve Arizona, Nevada and Southern California.

ITC North Gila-Imperial Valley #2

The North Gila-Imperial Valley #2 Transmission Project is proposed to be the second 500kV line between the Yuma area of Southwest Arizona and the Imperial Valley area of Southern California.  This project is designed to meet the need for additional grid capacity and greater service reliability in the Southwest to meet an evolving, uncertain energy future.
