The Alberta Utilities Commission will be holding a hearing to review applications for electric transmission development. The Commission previously issued a notice of hearing in this proceeding on August 16, 2024, for Nova Solar G.P. Inc.’s transmission connection components. The Commission has since received related applications from AltaLink Management Ltd. and has combined AltaLink’s applications with Nova Solar’s application.
Nova Solar has applied to construct and temporarily operate a new eight-kilometre-long, 240-kilovolt transmission line, to be designated as Transmission Line 927AL, near the town of Carseland. The new transmission line would connect the approved Nova Solar Power Plant to the Alberta Interconnected Electric System through Nova Solar’s approved Nova 1005S Substation.
AltaLink Management Ltd. has applied for approval to connect existing Transmission Line 927L to proposed Transmission Line 927AL and to alter Transmission Line 927AL to accommodate this proposed connection. AltaLink has also applied to install one new telecommunications tower (up to 29 metres tall) at the Nova 1005S Substation.
The map included with this notice identifies the applied-for routes by Nova Solar.
The Commission will host a virtual oral hearing, commencing on January 13, 2025, at 10 a.m.
