Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center Substation Project

Rio Cosumnes Correctional Center Substation Project

SMUD is proposing to construct a new 12.5 MVA substation for the RCCC on Sacramento County-owned land for the purpose of ensuring adequate and reliable power for the RCCC's planned and future expansion projects. The new substation would be directly north of the RCCC facility and accessed by a new 30-foot wide service road off of Bruceville Rd. The project would also include 1.5 miles of new 69-kilovolt subtransmission line on the east side of the Bruceville Rd right of way; extending from the existing 69-kV subtransmission line at the Bruceville and Twin Cities intersection. The 1.5 miles of new subtranmission line includes a new underground portion of up to 1,600 feet. An existing 12-kV distribution line along this same alignment would be reconstructed to replace the current line poles with taller ones to allow for sufficient space to add the new single-circuit 69-kV subtransmission line above the 12-kV line. The new underground portion for the 69-kV subtransmission line would be situated directly east along the eastern edge of the Bruceville Road ROW within a new 25-foot wide SMUD easement on private agricultural land. The existing 12-kV underground distribution line would remain at its current location. It should be noted that if the underground 69-kV subtransmission line is not permissible on the east side of Bruceville Road, then underground portion for the 69-kV subtransmission line would be proposed on the west side of the Bruceville Road ROW, and two additional riser poles would be required for overhead crossing.
