ITC does not own any power plants or generation facilities, but it must constantly respond to changes in our state as demand for power changes and as old generators retire and new generators are built. Serving these new generators and delivering power to our communities requires ITC to maintain and expand the transmission system. As power producers transition to a new generation fleet, electric transmission is critical to ensuring a reliable flow of power. These projects are strategically engineered to improve Michigan’s grid reliability, enhance grid resilience to better withstand extreme weather, expand access to generation resources for electric consumers by reducing transmission system congestion, and improve the distribution of lower-cost energy resources.
