PUC Transmission To Build $100-Million Transmission Line
PUC Transmission announced a new project that will see PUC invest $100 million to construct transmission facilities that will bring additional power into Sault Ste. Marie’s west end and that will provide power to Algoma Steel Inc’s new electric-arc furnaces.
The new high-voltage line will help facilitate electricity transmission from the city’s north end to a new Transmission station near Algoma Steel. The new transmission line will support the steel plant and its $700 million project to build and operate two new state-of-the-art electric-arc furnaces. Algoma Steel Inc. says its investment will lead to a 70 per cent reduction in carbon emissions.
