AES Ohio is proposing to construct the new Kiser substation interconnection project in Adams Township, Champaign County, Ohio.

The project will provide interconnection between a 144 MW solar facility and the existing East Sidney-Quincy 138kV transmission line. AES Ohio will construct a new substation, of approximately 1.7 acres, named Kiser substation, which will have a four-breaker ring bus configuration and will be tied in to the East Sidney-Quincy 138kV transmission line, location approximately 0.1 miles from the new substation. Fiber for communication will also be installed. The interconnection customer will construct its own substation and a 138kV transmission line that connects their substation to the proposed Kiser substation.

Frequently asked questions

The new Kiser 138kV substation will be constructed on a parcel provided by the interconnection customer that is located southwest of the Village of Quincy on Champaign Logan Road (County Road 3) between County Road 40 and State Route 235.
