Amsterdam substation expansion project

AES Ohio is proposing the expansion of the current Amsterdam substation, located in German Township, Auglaize County, Ohio.

The project will expand the substation yard, installing a second 138/69 kilovolt (kV) transformer, and replacing an existing 138/69 kV transformer with a new 138/69 kV transformer at the Amsterdam substation. This will also require the addition of four 138 kV and two 69 kV breakers to establish two ring buses, replacing two breakers with new circuit breakers and replacing the existing 22.5 megavolt amps (“MVAR”) capacitor with two new 16 MVAR capacitors.

This project is needed to improve the resilience and reliability of the area power system, increase operational flexibility and to meet the requirements of Honda Development and Manufacturing of America (HDMA) facilities.
