We are planning to rebuild two aging electric transmission lines in northeast North Carolina in Hertford and Gates counties. One line continues to the City of Suffolk, Virginia. After more than five decades of dependable service, the existing structures and components on both lines are at the end of their service life. Replacing this equipment will maintain reliability for our customers.
The 44.3-mile, 230 kilovolt (kV) electric transmission line between our Suffolk and Earleys substations was built on wooden H-frame and weathering steel lattice structures. We are proposing to rebuild this line using a combination of brown, weathering steel H-frame structures and galvanized steel lattice structures. The 14.8-mile, 115 kV electric transmission line between our Tunis and Earleys substations was built on wooden monopole structures. We are proposing to rebuild this line using weathering steel monopole structures. No new right of way is needed.
