Document Description
A new 115kv power line would extend between the existing Table Mountain-Butte #3 115kv line (the source of the 115kv power) and the Paradise Substation. It would be approximately 6.1 miles long and the corridor would be up to 85 feet wide. The entire route primarily follows existing utility right-of-way (ROW) corridors or road ROW's. The Proposed Project also involves upgrading the existing Paradise Substation from a 60kV to a 115kV operating system.
