Construction work will be divided between Pennsylvania-based Henkels & McCoy, which will provide services primarily in ATC’s southern territory, and MJ Electric, a Quanta Services company, which will support projects in northern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Mike Rowe, vice president of construction at ATC, said: “ATC has an ambitious plan that calls for $2.5 billion in infrastructure improvements over the next 10 years.
“That is just within our footprint – a number of regional planning studies are underway to identify transmission infrastructure needs to help Midwestern states meet renewable energy portfolio requirements. We look forward to working with these demonstrated leaders in the energy construction industry to safely and reliably expand the transmission grid.”
Under the agreements, the two companies will provide all construction resources, including labor, equipment and management strategies, to implement ATC’s construction plans.
ATC owns, operates, builds and maintains high-voltage electric transmission system serving portions of Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Illinois.
