System information edit

During the night when demand was low, the company was able to sell power from this small dam to larger companies such as Upper Peninsula Power Company and Consumers Energy. Edison Sault's transmission system voltage is 138,000 volts. The subtransmission system voltage is 69,000 volts. The distribution system voltage is 13,200 volts.

(McGulpin-Straits #1 and McGulpin-Straits #2) These two lines are submerged under the Straits of Mackinac. Edison Sault has two interconnections with its former sister company, Wisconsin Electric (Arnold-Indian Lake #1 and Arnold-Indian Lake #2).
