It’s heating up! Did you know that transmission lines, which naturally generate heat due to electrical current passing through them, can sag and perform differently in extreme temps? That’s why companies like ITC prioritize vegetation management to prevent interference with the lines. Additionally, our dedicated operators continuously monitor load balancing, considering factors such as weather conditions and demand, to ensure power stays flowing. ⚡🌡️

In observance of Juneteenth, we've partnered with the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History in Detroit, Michigan to host an in-person tour and virtual workshop for employees to explore black history and culture.

In today’s evolving energy landscape, transmission is crucial for: ✅ Ensuring reliable access to energy ✅ Connecting to renewables and meeting clean energy goals ✅ Supporting the electrification of our economy That’s why we urgently need investment in our transmission system and policy that supports it across the board. FERC’s recent Order No. 1920 is a step in the right direction, but there’s more to be done to ensure that policy doesn’t become a threat to the greater grid. Read more 👉 https://ow.ly/kJ7f50Sji00

Last month, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued Order 1920 regarding transmission planning and cost allocation. This historic Order will help ensure regional transmission is proactively planned to reliably accommodate the evolving energy landscape. We look forward to the foundation this rule lays for ITC to continue building a greater grid for a greener future.
