The Lake Erie Connector is a planned underwater electric transmission line that would run under Lake Erie to connect the power grids of the Canadian province of Ontario with the American state of Pennsylvania.[1] The 117 kilometres (73 mi) high-voltage direct current line will carry up to 1000 MW and run from Nanticoke, Ontario to Erie County, Pennsylvania.[2]
The connector is budgeted at US$1 billion.[3]
Energy planners first started to work on the project in 2004.[4]
Last week, the federal government approved the Lake Erie Connector project, a 1,000-megawatt transmission line to be buried under the lake, sending electricity 117 kilometres back and forth between Nanticoke, Ontario, and Erie County in Pennsylvania.
Novi-based ITC Holding Corp. is embarking on a new path in its 14-year history to build a 73-mile, $1 billion high-voltage direct current transmission line under the waters of Lake Erie that will connect the energy markets of Pennsylvania with Ontario.
