TIP-1 Transmission Line Project
This Notice of Commencement is provided to inform the public, Indigenous communities and interested parties that Transmission Infrastructure Partnerships 1 Limited (TIP-1) is beginning an environmental study to determine the potential environmental effects of the construction of a 230kV transmission line connecting the Porcupine Substation in Timmins, ON with a planned new switching station to be constructed 42 km north of Timmins.
Who We Are
TIP-1 is jointly and equally owned by Taykwa Tagamou Nation (TTN) and Transmission Infrastructure Partnerships Limited (TIP). The Company has an agreement in place with Canada Nickel Corporation to support the electrical demand of the planned Crawford Mine Project.
