AES Ohio is proposing upgrades to the local power grid, known as the 3307 Complex Phase II: Wrestle Creek Transmission Line Project, and is investing in the electric transmission system to improve the resiliency and reliability, increase operational flexibility, and to meet the requirements of the surrounding transmission network. The Project involves building approximately 6 miles of 69kV transmission line from a proposed tie-in location on the AES Phase I line project, to the proposed Wrestle Creek Substation near the Village of Waynesfield, Ohio.
Why is this project needed?
AES Ohio is investing in the electric transmission system to improve the resiliency and reliability, increase operational flexibility, and to meet the requirements of the surrounding transmission network.
The proposed project is in response to load growth and the need for stronger ties north of Indian Lake.
Project map
This project covers:
- Auglaize County
- Logan County
- Village of Waynesfield
- Village of New Hampshire
About the project
Details
The project includes:
- Reconfiguring the current Shelby 138kV substation
- A double circuit 138kV transmission line connecting the Shelby substation to the Millcreek substation
- Connect the double circuit transmission line at the Millcreek substation
Typical structures
The project involves the use of both steel and ductile iron poles, with heights ranging from approximately 80 to 105 ft. The typical easement width for a double circuit transmission line is 35 feet along road right of way and 100 feet for the remainder of the county.
