Expanding Midal’s Presence in North America
The Midal Cables Alberta transmission project highlights the company’s growing role in strengthening North America’s electricity infrastructure. Midal Cables supplied 1,132 kilometers of AZR HAWK ACCC® high‑temperature, low‑sag conductors for a new 240 kV transmission line in Alberta, Canada.

Strengthening Alberta’s Power Network
Developed by AltaLink and ATCO, the double‑circuit 240 kV line stretches about 350 kilometers across provincial land and farmland. It enhances grid reliability, supports Alberta’s growing energy needs, and improves system flexibility across the province’s central transmission corridor.
Once complete, the new infrastructure will integrate into Alberta’s core power grid and significantly boost long‑term energy resilience.
High‑Performance ACCC® Conductor Technology
The project uses bundled conductor configurations to increase efficiency and capacity. Each span features CTC Global’s ACCC® composite core, a next‑generation technology that reduces thermal sag while boosting current‑carrying capability compared to traditional steel‑core conductors.
Hardline Engineering Ltd. oversees project design and engineering, while Victor manages construction. The project also incorporates PLP hardware to ensure mechanical reliability and seamless installation. For more on ACCC® conductor technology, visit https://www.ctcglobal.com.
Supporting Major North American Grid Projects
This project builds on Midal Cables’ strong track record in the North American market. The company previously supplied conductors for the Ten West Link 500 kV transmission line between Arizona and California. It also contributed to Canadian efforts such as the Muskrat Falls–Labrador Island transmission link.
In North America, Composite Power Group represents Midal’s overhead conductor line products, while Midal Cables International (Canada) Limited, based in Mississauga, Ontario, supports regional operations and distribution.
