Document Description
Sierra Pacific, in its California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) application (A.06-04-017), filed on April 19, 2006, seeks a Permit to Construct (PTC) an approximately 3,500-foot power line of new 60 kV circuit on an existing 12.5 kV distribution line in unincorporated Nevada County, near the town of Hirschdale, pursuant to CPUC General Order (GO) 131-D. The entire proposed route would be located on an existing Sierra Pacific easement on private property.
The objective of the proposed project is to provide an alternative to the aging and difficult to maintain primary transmission path new serving the Glenshire Substation, thereby assuring continued safe and reliable electric service to customers in the area while also meeting planning criteria.
