AES Ohio is investing in the electric transmission system to help improve reliability and operational flexibility for all customers in the Indian Lake area. This first phase of a larger planned project includes a new substation and a new transmission line to connect this substation to AES Ohio’s existing Indian Lake Substation.
What
This phase includes:
- New Chippewa substation
- 69 kV transmission line connecting the existing Indian Lake substation to the Chippewa substation
Why
AES Ohio is committed to safe and reliable service for new and existing customers. As the Indian Lake community has grown, so has the electric demand. On peak days, the demand is now greater than the capacity of the current lines. This could lead to power disruptions.
Where
- Logan County
- Indian Lake and surrounding area
Project location
Typical structures
The project involves the use of both steel and ductile iron poles with heights ranging from 75-90 feet. The pole will be centered in a 50-feet ROW easement. Tree clearing will take place within 15 feet of the pole.
*Final structure height, number of attachments and ROW easement width may vary.
