Liberty officials plan to upgrade the electric transmission grid in Pike County.
The project involves:
- Building 6-8 miles of 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line
- Retiring approximately 9 miles of 46-kV transmission line
- Building the Orinoco Substation
- Retiring the Belfry Substation
Crews plan to install primarily steel H-frames. At certain points, crews could use Lattice towers and three-pole structures with guy wire.
Installing modern equipment and upgrading facilities reduces the need for frequent equipment maintenance and improves electric service reliability
by providing a second source of power to customers served by the New Camp Substation.
We are committed to keeping you informed about this project while also keeping customers and employees safe and healthy during COVID-19.
