PROJECT DETAILS

The project requires construction of new 138 kV transmission lines as well as the removal and salvage of existing transmission lines including:

• Construction of a new 138 kV transmission line from AltaLink Substation 42S located at the intersection of Sarcee Trail and Glenmore Trail to ENMAX Substation 35 located north of 90 Avenue SW in the southwest corner of Glenmore Park

• Construction of a new 138 kV transmission line from ENMAX Substation 35 to ENMAX Substation 6 located at 16300 – 37 Street SW

• Removal and salvage of an existing 138 kV line between AltaLink Substation 42S and ENMAX Substation 30 located at 11111 – 37 Street SW and a section of transmission line south of ENMAX Substation 30 once ENMAX Substation 35 and the new proposed transmission lines are energized.

SOUTHWEST CALGARY RING ROAD (SWCRR)PROPOSED 138 KV TRANSMISSION LINE RELOCATION

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Alberta Transportation has started planning for the construction of the SW portion of the road that will complete the Calgary Ring Road. The completion of the SWCRR requires the relocation of several utilities that are directly impacted by the road construction. The Province is working collaboratively with the impacted utility companies to help facilitate their planning and design.

The road design for the SWCRR conflicts with existing transmission infrastructure. Alberta Transportation has requested ENMAX Power (ENMAX) to relocate its transmission lines away from the road alignment and into the new Power Line Component of the newly established Transportation Utility Corridor (TUC) along the SWCRR. This land was transferred from the Tsuu T’ina Nation to the Government of Alberta to accommodate a portion of the SWCRR and TUC.

STAKEHOLDER NEWSLETTER | SEPTEMBER 2015

TRANSPORTATION UTILITY CORRIDOR (TUC)

In the mid-1970s, the Government of Alberta

established Restricted Development Areas (RDAs)

around Calgary. The lands included in these RDAs were

designated to accommodate linear transportation and

utility facilities. These uses include ring roads (and

associated interchanges), stormwater management

facilities, petroleum pipelines, power transmission

lines and municipal regional water, sanitary and storm

sewer lines.

TRANSMISSION STRUCTURES

The proposed single circuit transmission structures will be self-supporting expandable steel monopoles with a height of 18 to 24 metres ( 58 to 78 feet). The transmission line running east west to connect to Substation 35 at 90 Avenue SW will be a double circuit line ranging in height from 22 to 27 metres ( 72 to 89 feet ). Distance between structures will be approximately 100 to 140 metres (325 to 459 feet)

Alberta Infrastructure advised ENMAX the TUC right of way for current and future line use is only 25 metres wide with a height restriction of 44 metres.

PROPOSED SCHEDULE

ENMAX plans to file the Facility Application (FA) with the Alberta Utilities Commission in late November 2015. Subject to approvals being granted, ENMAX expects construction to begin in June 2016 with a proposed in-service date of September 2017.
