Apr 13, 2021 | 9:03 PM

The Alberta Utilities Commission’s public hearing into the Central East Transfer-Out Project starts tomorrow (Thursday, April 14) at 9 a.m.

The hearing will be entirely virtual, so residents are able to listen live here.

AltaLink’s portion of the proposed Central East Transfer-Out Project is in the counties of Red Deer, Lacombe, and Stettler. If approved, the project includes:

• Approximately 55-60 kilometres of new 240 kilovolt (kV) transmission line connecting the Gaetz Substation, located east of the City of Red Deer, to a new ATCO Electric transmission line, located southeast of the Village of Alix

• Installing new equipment at the Gaetz Substation.
