The ITC Lake Erie Connector is a proposed +/- 320 kV HVDC bi-directional underwater transmission line, approximately 73 miles in length, that would connect converter stations located in Erie, Pennsylvania and Nanticoke, Ontario.
A 345kV Alternating Current (AC) underground transmission line would connect the Erie converter station to Penelec's existing Erie West substation, while a 500kV AC line would tie the Nanticoke converter station to Hydro One’s Nanticoke substation.
The majority of the transmission line would be buried beneath Lake Erie or underground using existing roadway rights-of-way. To learn more, please see our project profile and project presentation.
