Document Description
The City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) proposes to upgrade an approximately 1.8-mile portion of the existing Toluca–Hollywood 230 kilovolt (kV) Transmission Line 1 (TOL–HWD L1) cable, which runs underground within a pipe from the Nichols Canyon Terminal Tower to the Hollywood Receiving Station. All work would be located within the road right-of-way (ROW), the confines of LADWP property, or within an easement. The proposed TOL-HWD L1 Upgrade Project (proposed project) would include trenching and installing a new underground cable adjacent to the existing underground TOL-HWD L1 alignment from Hollywood Boulevard southeast to the Hollywood Receiving Station. The project also would include trenching and removing the existing underground TOL-HWD L1 pipe and cable and installing a new underground pipe and cable inside the same trench alignment within Nichols Canyon Road, north of Hollywood Boulevard to the Nichols Canyon Terminal Tower. Additionally, an existing transmission tower along the existing TOL-HWD L1 would be raised, and a portion of an existing Burbank Water and Power (BWP) distribution line that crosses under the TOL-HWD L1 would be lowered. To accommodate the system upgrade, modifications to the Nichols Canyon Terminal Tower and the Hollywood Receiving Station are proposed.
The proposed project would maintain the reliability of energy supply within the power system while providing the capacity to accommodate imported renewable energy coming from outside of the Los Angeles Basin. Further, the proposed project is essential to support LADWP’s planned reduced reliance on its in-basin combustion-turbine electrical generation facilities while substantially increasing the use of renewable resources in an effort to achieve the long-term City goal of 100 percent clean energy by 2035.
