ITC Oneida-Sabine Lake Project – High Voltage Transmission Lines

The Oneida-Sabine Lake project involves construction of an approximately 50-mile, 345 kilovolt high voltage transmission line from the existing Oneida station in Eaton County to a new Sabine Lake station in Livingston County. The project will be proposed for construction by IC’s subsidiary, Michigan Electric Transmission Company (METC), and is part of a larger effort to enhance Michigan’s power grid and meet the state’s growing energy needs.

You are invited to attend an upcoming Landowner Open house between July 21-30, 2026. The Landowner Open Houses are the third phase of ITC’s multiphase public and community engagement process. These events are open house-style, where you can drop-in any time. No formal presentation will be given. The Landowner Open Houses offer an opportunity to learn more about the Project and provide your input in the early planning stages.

Drop in any time during the hours listed, learn more about the Project, ask questions and share feedback directly with ITC. You will also be able to review the  PRELIMINARY ROUTE OPTIONS. Please RSVP to one of the day/time blocks, so they can accommodate all participants. RSVP by visiting: https://burnsmcd.cventevents.com/event/ITCOSL3/overview.
