Connections is an electronic newsletter created to keep you, our customer, up to date on key projects and issues.

In this issue, find out about the Pulliam Substation project and the latest news from our Environmental Department. You'll also learn about System Operations' recent MAIN System Restoration drill, pictured in the photos below. The photo on the left was taken at Cottage Grove. In the background is a screen from ATC's EMS Dynamic Training Simulator (DTS), used for the first time by ATC System Control Operators to assist them in mapping out a plan to restore service. In the photo on the right, Tim Mitchell and Bruce Teague Work on restoring the Sycamore and Iowa North islands during the drill.
