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).

Municipal

Lake Erie Connector

The Lake Erie Connector is a proposed 1,000 MW, bi-directional, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) underwater contracted transmission line that will provide the first direct link between the markets of the Ontario Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO) and PJM Interconnection (PJM). 
This project will help deliver more affordable, cost-effective electricity to customers as a result of increased energy trading between these power markets.
