Description A visionary concept since the 1940's, the Pacific Northwest—Pacific Southwest Intertie became a reality in 1968 when the a-c lines were energized. When the d-c line was energized in 1970, the total project capacity exceeded 3.4 million kilowatts. Nearly 4,200 towers on the d-c Intertie span the 845-mile distance between The Dalles Dam in Oregon and Sylmar Substation in California.
