Bayport – Pioneer Rebuild Project
Overview Approximately 21 miles of 69,000-volt transmission line north of Green Bay, Wis., needs to be rebuilt and upgraded to 138-kV to serve the electric load in the area effectively and reliably. The 1910s-vintage lattice structures and wires have reached the end of their life cycle and will be replaced between the Bayport Substation in […]
Straits Cable Replacement Project
Project overview Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and lower Michigan have been connected electrically for decades by two underwater 138,000-volt transmission lines, comprised of six cables. These connections are critical to electric reliability in the eastern U.P. and northern lower Michigan. ATC has removed the six underwater cables and re-established two new 138-kV circuits in the Straits, […]
