ITC Midwest

Marking 10 Years of Success - Thank you for your partnership!
In December, ITC marked the 10th anniversary of its purchase of the electric transmission system from Alliant Energy’s Interstate Power & Light Company and the creation of ITC Midwest. It was an opportunity to pause and reflect on all we have accomplished in the past decade. And we have accomplished a great deal!

• We have rebuilt more than 400 miles of 34.5 kV lines to be capable of operating at 69 kV, improving reliability along with system capacity.

• We have completed 27 new generator interconnections, allowing more than 3,400 megawatts of new electricity generation to reach customers. The majority of that is new renewable energy generation.

• We have constructed nearly 200 miles of new high-voltage 345 kV lines in Minnesota and Iowa as part of the multi-state Multi-Value Projects (MVPs), creating a strong energy backbone for the regional transmission system.

• We have reduced transmission outages by nearly 50 percent thanks to our investments and proactive maintenance practices.

• Through sponsorships, charitable giving, grants and other initiatives, we have invested more than $2 million in community programs, environmental projects and social concerns in the communities we serve.

We have accomplished so much, and are excited about the work that lies ahead. It is all made possible through our partnership with key stakeholders like you. We are grateful for the opportunity to work with you to make our communities stronger, grow the local economies and support the quality of life we all enjoy. Thank you for a great first decade. Here’s to the next 10 years of progress!
