Transmission is Key to Unlocking Our Energy Future
As we look to connect our country to renewable energy, improve electric reliability and system resiliency, and achieve widespread building and vehicle electrification, the ability to move power across state lines will be critical. With a singular focus on electricity transmission, ITC advocates for a holistic approach to power grid development and expansion.
ITC Michigan’s capital projects range in size from small-scale substation upgrades to large-scale green field transmission projects that serve as the backbone of regional electricity systems.
