Situated in the scenic northeast corner of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, Alpena Power Company is an investor-owned, family-operated utility that has served customers in Alpena, Presque Isle and Montmorency counties for more than 135 years. Providing affordable, reliable service is a hallmark of Alpena Power, which boasts 99.98% average availability to its customers.
Alpena Power connects to ITC’s high-voltage transmission system at the Alpena Substation, one of 283 stations and substations across Michigan with assets maintained and operated by ITC. The companies share a strong commitment to operational excellence and a proactive maintenance approach, so when a damaged insulator and “hot spot” on a substation disconnect switch were discovered during a routine inspection, they quickly took action.
