Liberty officials plan to upgrade the electric transmission grid in Floyd and Johnson counties.
The project involves:
The existing transmission line has experienced multiple power outages in recent years due to lightning and other causes. Currently, the customers served from the Kenwood Substation may experience longer restoration time when the transmission line experiences an outage.
AEP and PJM, the regional transmission organization that monitors the electric transmission grid in our region, have identified additional needs for the upgrades. The proposed upgrades will mitigate identified reliability criteria violations and strengthens the transmission system to increase electric reliability for the area customers.
The proposed upgrades:
