AES Ohio is proposing Fayette to Customer East 345 kV transmission line project , located in Jefferson Township, Fayette County, Ohio.
The proposed Fayette to Customer East 345kV transmission line project is a necessary upgrade to support 1.5 gigawatts of load growth in the Jeffersonville, Ohio area. Initial service is required by 2026, with additional transmission support by 2031. The proposed project involves the construction of two 345kV transmission lines and will involve building two single-circuit parallel lines of approximately 0.4 miles each (two parallel lines totaling approximately 0.8 miles), spanning from the existing Fayette Substation to a 345kV delivery point. The proposed project involves necessary upgrades to serve a new data center customer near AES Ohio's Fayette Substation in Jeffersonville, Ohio.
The Fayette to Customer East 345 kV transmission line project is located on Fent Road, southwest of Jeffersonville in Jefferson Township, Fayette County, Ohio.
