Document Description
The "S" Line route runs the IID/San Diego Gas & Electric Imperial Valley Substation located on BLM lands, ~10 miles southwest of the City of El Centro, near Liebert and Wixom Roads, to the north, and terminating at the El Centro Switching Station on Dogwood Road near Villa Road. The project is located in Imperial County. The IID proposes to upgrade about 18 miles of the 230 kV overhead electrical transmission line by installing (+/-) 285 new double circuit steel poles (including all existing polymer horizontal insulators) to replace the existing wood poles supporting a single 230 kV circuit. The execution plan is to complete the pole replacement and upgrades in three phases. The "S" Line will upgraded at distinct locations with an assigned order or importance on the basis of system outages, structural reliability, risk, construction feasibility and costs.
