SPP board approves 138 kV line construction, Evergy plans to seek restudy

摘要

Southwest Power Pool approved construction of a new 138 kV transmission line replacing a nearly 100-year-old line, but a member company is expected to file a request to re-evaluate the project as it collides with a local project currently underway. SPP staff recommended approval for construction of a new 138 kV line between the existing Butler substation and the existing Tioga substation in Kansas that would replace the Butler to Altoona line, SPP vice president of engineering Antoine Lucas said at the Jan. 26 SPP Board of Directors and Members Committee meeting.
