ITC Transmission Plans 765-Kilovolt Line Through Branch County
What happened
ITC Transmission announced its intent to construct the “Horizon Project,” a new 765-kilovolt electric transmission line. The project, which is part of a multi-county electric grid modernization effort, plans to span approximately 68 miles from Monroe County’s Ida Township to the Indiana-Michigan border. ITC Transmission has partnered with Burns & McDonnell to evaluate potential paths for the line.
