Electricity 101
GENERATION
Where it all starts
Electricity sometimes travels long distances from generation plants to your homes, schools, hospitals and businesses. Canada’s entire electricity grid is crisscrossed with power lines that move the electricity to you.
When electricity comes out of the generation plant it usually has a voltage of about 20,000 volts. A volt is the measurement of how much electric force is pushing electrons around a circuit.
At the generation plant, the electricity is boosted up to 245,000 volts by a transformer. This higher voltage helps the electricity travel more efficiently long distances.
TRANSMISSION
Cross-country journey
The electricity then goes into long thick cables called transmission lines. The wires are made of copper and aluminum because these metals let electricity flow through them easily. You can tell you are looking at transmission lines when you see high towers – often made of steel - with many wires attached to them going across the countryside.
When the electricity on the transmission lines gets close to where it will be used it goes into a substation. The substation contains electrical equipment such as transformers. The transformers lower the voltage of the electricity to match where it will be used. Factories, mass transit systems, streetlights, businesses and homes all need the electricity to be at a different voltage
DISTRIBUTION
Moving from the substation to your community
Electricity leaves the substation on smaller wires called distribution lines to take it to homes and businesses. In some communities, distribution lines are overhead and you can see them. Newer neighborhoods have the distribution lines underground so you may not even know they are there.
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
It arrives
When the distribution wires reach your neighborhood, another small transformer, mounted on a pole or in a utility box, lowers the voltage of the electricity even more so it can be used in your house. The voltage is eventually reduced to 220 volts for larger appliances, like stoves and clothes dryers, and 120 volts for lights, televisions and other smaller appliances.
When electricity enters your home, it must pass through a meter. A member of the ENMAX Power Corporation team reads the meter so we’ll know how much electricity you used and can provide you with an accurate bill.
After being metered, the electricity goes through a fuse box into your home. The fuse box protects the house in case of problems. When a fuse or a circuit breaker ‘blows’ or ‘trips’, something went wrong with an appliance or something short-circuited.

Foothills Area Transmission Development South Calgary - Project Overview
The demand for power is increasing as Calgary continues to grow. The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) has determined the existing transmission system in south Calgary will become overloaded as the demand for power rises. The reliability of your power supply is reduced as transmission lines become overloaded and the likelihood of power outages increases.
The AESO has identified the need to add a new 138 kV transmission line between ENMAX No. 65 Substation and ENMAX No. 41 Substation via ENMAX No.54 Substation in order to prevent transmission line overloads in the South Calgary area.
To meet this need, ENMAX Power Corporation has identified two viable transmission routes – a preferred and an alternate. The total length of the proposed transmission line to be constructed is approximately 14 – 22 kilometres depending upon the approved route. New equipment will be added at ENMAX Substations No. 65 and No. 41 to accommodate the new transmission line

* Pole locations are preliminary and subject to final designFOOTHILLS AREA TRANSMISSION DEVELOPMENT SOUTH CALGARY
All Pole locations and all distances shown are approximate and may change based on final structure design, landowner input, environmental assessment and engineering.
Transmission StructuresThe proposed single circuit transmission structures for both the preferred and alternate routes would be self-supporting steel monopoles and will have a:
• Height of 18 to 24 metres ( 58 to 78 feet)• Distance between structures of 100 to 125 metres (325 to 410 feet)• Pole diameter in the preferred 1.1 to 2.23 metres (3.6 to 7.3 feet)• Pole diameter in alternate 0.7 to 1.6 metres (2.3 to 5.3 feet)• Poles within the TUC will be expandable to accommodate future transmission development if required.
Rendering of proposed transmission pole within TUC Proposed transmission pole for outside the TUC
Regulatory Process - Foothills Area Transmission Development South Calgary
Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) identifies a need to upgrade transmission system
AESO directs Transmission Facility Owner (TFO), in this instance ENMAX Power, to prepare a
Facility Application in accordance with the Electric Utilities Act.

STUDIES
ENGAGEMENT
APPLICATION
AUC REVIEW AND APPROVAL
TFO conducts necessary studies to ensure transmission routing is the safest, most economical,
with the least impact on landowners and the environment
TFO conducts a public engagement program as identified in Alberta Utilities Commission (AUC) Rule 007 to all potentially affected landowners, occupants and residents adjacent to the project.
TFO consolidates information from engagement and studies, and prepares final Facility Application and
submits to the AUC.
AUC reviews application and issues a notice in local newspapers. Interested parties are offered an opportunity to participate in the application process.
Refer to the AUC booklet for information on the regulatory process following submission of the Facilities Application.
Environment
• Working with regulatory agencies including the City of Calgary, Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development, Alberta Parks, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and Environment Canada to ensure all required approval and permits are obtained before starting any project.
• Complying with relevant environmental legislation, regulations, guidelines, policies and operating approvals.
• Developing a site specific Environmental Management Plan for each project to address and mitigate potential impacts to the environment. The plan is reviewed onsite with ENMAX employees and contractors.
• Conducting frequent on-site inspections to ensure workers are adhering to the Environmental Management Plan, and that all mitigation measures are effective.
• Conducting follow-up site visits to ensure impacted areas are remediated.
• Maintaining and continually improving upon our Environmental Management System, which is based on the International Standard ISO 14001 and supports our Corporate Environment Policy.
At ENMAX, we strive to reduce impacts to air, water, land and wildlife during all our operations. We do this by:
Understanding Electric and Magnetic Fields
• Electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) are found everywhere electricity is used from household wiring to power lines. ENMAX understands public concerns with EMF and in order to provide current information to the public and our employees, we continue to monitor the issue through our work with the Canadian Electricity Association’s EMF task group.
• While there are no EMF limits related to long term health effects, some countries and organizations (such as the World Health Organization) have adopted the 2010 ICNIRP guideline of 2000 mG (milligauss) for acute effects.
• Based on our modelling for the TUC route, ENMAX expects that the magnetic field at the nearest property line will be less than 1.0 mG.
Commitment to the CommunityENMAX Power is committed to being a responsible corporate neighbour in the community. This commitment includes providing timely and meaningful engagement with stakeholders about this project.
We have developed a comprehensive public involvement program to provide opportunities for area residents, occupants and landowners to be informed about this proposal and to engage with ENMAX Power in dialogue from the planning phase through to construction.
We hope we’ve answered your questions and have your comments.
Please take a couple of minutes to fill out a comment card.Your input will be included in our consultation report which will be incorporated into our application to the AUC.
