RECENT DEVELOPMENTS ARCHIVE
Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. (MATL) is a Calgary-based energy transmission company that is constructing the Montana Alberta Tie line, a 214-mile (345-kilometer), 230-Kilovolt transmission line that will interconnect the electricity markets of Alberta and Montana. It will be the first power transmission line between Alberta and Montana.
The MATL line will run from a substation outside of Lethbridge, Alberta to one near Great Falls, Montana. It will allow much-needed energy flow in both directions, ensuring more reliable supplies of electricity which will make both Montanans and Albertans less vulnerable to power outages.
Northern Montana and southern Alberta are home to some of the best wind energy sources in North America. Among all of the United States, Montana is rated number five for wind-energy potential. The MATL line will enable the development of new wind-energy projects by linking this renewable and emission-free source of power to consumers across North America.
Montana Alberta Tie Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tonbridge Power Inc.
