Central East Transfer-Out Transmission Line

This investment is yet another step towards ensuring Alberta’s electricity system is affordable, reliable, and sustainable for generations to come. Collaboration is necessary for our grid to be prepared to meet the province’s future needs. As Alberta’s government works towards modernizing our grid, support from industry and the CIB is essential to achieving these goals.

As the demand for electricity continues to grow in Alberta’s expanding economy, our goal remains to provide reliable and affordable electricity to our customers. With the support of the CIB, we are reducing the cost to our customers for this important electrical infrastructure, while strengthening the system and increasing access to renewable energy sources.

The Central East Transfer-Out project will underpin Alberta’s growing economy by addressing future electricity availability and augmenting resiliency. Adding 750 MW to our grid will meet this increasing demand while helping to enable a modernized system that can more readily accommodate renewable generation projects. Importantly, the Canada Infrastructure Bank’s significant investment will also help maintain affordable rates for our customers by minimizing financing costs.
