Why is the independent transmission model better?
ITC Great Plains has no internal competition for capital – we are dedicated to prudent transmission investment alone. ITC Great Plains does give any preference to market affiliates – we are truly the only assurance of open access to the grid. We have unparalleled experience constructing and maintaining fully regulated, high-voltage transmission lines. Our strong financial position means secured access to capital, so taxpayer money is safeguarded. We favor a collaborative mindset when working with communities and landowners. Strategic alliance partners such as Black & Veatch that specialize in design and engineering transmission systems. Strategic alliance partners such as Asplundh that specialize in maintaining transmission systems. Strategic transmission agreements with Sunflower Electric, Mid-Kansas Electric, and Midwest Energy that combine the local experience with ITC Great Plains vision.
