Document Description
The Viejo System Project consists of a new substation (Viejo Substation) with 220/66 Kilovolt (kV) and 66/12 kV transformation, four 12 kV distribution lines, and one 66 kV subtranmission line (together, the proposed Viejo System Project). Completion of the Viejo System Project would require minor modifications to two existing 200 kV transmission lines, installation of one opitcal ground wire between Viejo and Chiquita Substation, installation of an underground fiber optic cable between Viejo Substation and SCE's Irvine Operation center, and modifications at the nerby Chiquita Substation within the existing footprint. The proposed Viejo System Project would be included in the greater Santiago System, which provides electricity to the Orange County area.
