Located in south-central Michigan, the City of Marshall is home to one of the nation's largest National Historic Landmark Districts. Its many attractions, convenient location and quality of life beckon both tourists and businesses alike, making reliable power essential in this quaint and thriving community.
The area’s electricity needs have long been served by ITC’s Marshall to Blackstone 138 kV transmission line, however growing demand and outdated infrastructure technology were taxing its service capabilities, creating the potential for the line to become overloaded. The 35-mile line’s aged structures were exhibiting deterioration and obsolete conductors needed to be replaced. ITC determined that the line needed to be rebuilt.
