Project Leader (6028)

The Company
Our client is Alberta’s transmission leader, owning and operating 11,600 kilometres of transmission lines and approximately 300 substations. On April 30, 2002 our client assumed control of Alberta’s largest transmission system (previously owned by TransAlta), marking the beginning of a new era in the Canadian electricity industry. With the completion of this transaction, their newly established company became the first independent transmission provider in Canada.

Over the years, our client has succeeded in building stronger communities by supporting programs that have ties to their investment priorities. They will continue to do so by using their technological resources, financial strength, and human capital to invest in innovative programs.
