Ross Transmission Line Extensions

Ross Transmission Line Extensions
Working to improve the reliability of your electric service in Butler County.
Visit our virtual open house.Project overview
The Ross Transmission Line Extensions Project will help improve the reliability of the electric transmission system by building four 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines in and out of a new electric switching substation. The Ross Substation is under development on Duke Energy property along Ross Millville Road (U.S. 27). Four transmission lines will run in and out of the substation. Two new 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission lines will exit directly to U.S. 27 on Duke Energy-owned property. Two of the new transmission line extensions will involve easement acquisition, and as part of those routing studies, we're seeking public comment from landowners.
Ross West Transmission Line Extension – The Ross West Transmission Line Extension Project will help improve the reliability of the electric system by extending a 69-kV transmission line – approximately 4,000 feet – from Millville Shandon Road to the new Ross Substation.
Ross East Transmission Line Extension – The Ross East Transmission Line Extension Project will extend a separate 69-kV transmission line approximately 7,000 feet from Ross Hanover Road to the new Ross Substation.
