Transmission Line Projects
Bushnell East to Mondon Hill
Add a new 230-kV circuit by:
- Upgrading the existing 69-kV double-circuit transmission lines and adding a new 230-kV line on collocated triple-circuit structures for approximately 2 miles within the utility existing easement area coming out of the Bushnell East Substation heading west.
- Upgrading the existing 69-kV single-circuit transmission line and adding a 230-kV line on collocated double-circuit structures for approximately 17.5 miles within the existing easement area.
Brooksville to Mondon Hill
Add a new 230-kV circuit by:
- Upgrading the existing transmission lines with a 230-kV/115-kV/69-kV triple-circuit pole line and 115-kV/115-kV/69-kV/69-kV quad-circuit pole for 1.4 miles within the existing easement area.
Brooksville West to Brooksville
- Reconfigure the existing Brooksville West to Brooksville 115-kV double-circuit transmission line to bypass the Brooksville Substation and end at Mondon Hill Substation.
- Upgrade one of the existing 115-kV transmission lines to a 230-kV line from the Brooksville West line to the Brooksville Substation.
