Alberta’s Heartland Transmission Project has now been completed and is in operation.
The announcement was made Saturday in a joint release by the Heartland Transmission Project team, AltaLink and Epcor.
The project was heavily opposed by many in Strathcona County who were worried about the health impacts of the electricity line.
Officials warn that people in the area may here a buzzing or cracking noise as the transmission line settles in but that the sounds should fade.
The project is a 66-kilometre line extending from Edmonton to the Heartland industrial area north of Edmonton.
