ENMAX Power Corporation (ENMAX) is the primary transmission facilities owner (TFO) in the area. In a separate application called a facilities application, ENMAX will later propose specific routes and siting details for the developments. Modifications to some existing AltaLink Management Ltd. (Altalink) facilities will also be proposed by AltaLink. Both TFOs will request AUC approval to construct and operate these specific transmission facilities. For more information on AESO and TFO roles, see page 2. The specific transmission line routes applied for by ENMAX may extend beyond the area shown.
