Document Description
SDG&E is proposing to construct and operate the Valley Center Substation Project. The objective of the proposed Substation is to provide additional electricity to meet expected load growth and meet reliability criteria. The substation will be located on the north side of Valley Center Road, east of Cole Grade Road in the unincorporated Community of Valley Center in north-central San Diego County. The site is bordered by Vesper Road to the north and Valley Center Road to the west and south. The proposed project is a two-phase construction of a 120-megavolt ampere(MVA) substation with the loop in of the existing 69 dV transmission line. The proposed substation at full build-out is planned to have 112-MVA capacity with four 28-MVA transformers and 15, 12 kilovolt (kV) circuits. The existing 69 kV tie line will be routed in and out of the proposed site underground. The substation perimeter wall will enclose an area approximately 200' x 260'. The wall will be 10' high and constructed of earth toned, split-face block to blend with the surrounding area. Landscaping plants will be similar to those already in the area. There will be two 20' wide sliding gates at the end of the driveway leading into the substation. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2000 with an in-service date of June 2001.
