History

Through our operating subsidiaries, we are in the business of transmitting high-voltage electricity throughout the central United States and for the international markets to our neighbors in Canada. Beginning operations in March 2003, we were the nation’s first fully independent transmission business.

Today, we are the nation’s largest independent electric transmission company. We focus solely on electric transmission, and it is our mission to be a best-in-class transmission provider. We invest in electric transmission to enhance reliability and relieve electric transmission congestion, connect renewable energy resources to customers, and to lower the delivered energy cost to consumers.

Our four operating entities – ITCTransmission, Michigan Electric Transmission Company, LLC (METC), ITC Midwest and ITC Great Plains – serve an area of nearly 80,000 square miles in five states. Our service area has a population of more than 13 million people. We operate approximately 15,000 circuit miles of overhead and underground transmission lines, carrying more than 25,000 megawatts (or 25 billion watts) of electric power.

ITC Great Plains, LLC was formed in July 2006 as a subsidiary of ITC Grid Development, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ITC Holdings Corp. Headquartered in Topeka, Kansas, ITC Great Plains seeks to build a more robust electric transmission system providing access to reliable, non-discriminatory, competitive and low-cost energy throughout the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) region. ITC Great Plains holds transmission-only utility status in Kansas and Oklahoma with the authority to construct, own, operate, and maintain a regulated, high-voltage transmission system.
