The Dayton Power and Light Company d/b/a AES Ohio is proposing to construct the new Lynchburg 345 kilovolt (“kV”) Substation Project (“Project”) in Jefferson Township, Clinton County, Ohio.
The Project will provide interconnection between 300 MW solar facility and the existing Clinton-Clay 345kV transmission line. AES Ohio will construct a new substation, of approximately 3 acres, which will have a three-breaker ring bus configuration and will be tied into the existing Clinton-Clay 345kV transmission line, located 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 345 kV transmission line that connects their substation to the proposed Lynchburg substation.
