ITC-Holdings Discloses Regional And Long Range Michigan Electric Transmission Plans

NOVI – Chuck Marshall, Vice President of Transmission Planning, provides details on the company’s plans to strengthen its regional high-voltage lines in Michigan.

Michigan Electric Transmission Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC Holdings, announced its intent to construct, own and operate new transmission line projects in Michigan which are expected to provide Michigan ratepayers with more than $6 Billion in economic benefits while creating approximately 4,100 jobs across Michigan by 2030.

Approximately 110 miles of new 345 kilovolt lines will be constructed from northern Indiana to a new ITC substation located approximately 20 miles southwest of Lansing and will include new 345kV lines extending west of Lansing to Gratiot County.

Additionally, 75 miles of existing transmission lines from Jackson County to Wayne County will be upgraded to help improve reliability, storm resiliency and system efficiency.

The new electric transmission projects are part of the Midcontinent Independent System Operator’s Long Range Transmission Planning Tranche 1 Portfolio of projects and is the first new interstate connection to Michigan’s transmission system in nearly 50 years.
