SCE Cal City Substation 115kV Upgrade Project

SCE Cal City Substation 115kV Upgrade Project

The Project would include the expansion of the existing 5-acre Cal City Substation by approximately 10 acres to upgrade the substation from 33/12 kV to 115/33 kV and 115/12 kV. Fourteen new underground 12 kV distribution getaways and two new underground 33 kV distribution getaways from Cal City Substation are also proposed. The Project would include construction of two new 115 kV subtransmission lines, a 42-mile overhead line from Kramer Substation to Cal City Substation, and a new overhead 28-mile line from Cal City Substation to Holgate Switchyard with a tap line to serve Edwards Substation located on EAFB. The proposed new 115 kV subtransmission lines would be installed with telecommunication cables and telecommunication improvements would also be installed at the existing Holgate Switchyard and Cal City, Kramer, and Edwards substations. The Project would require electrical infrastructure improvements to accommodate the new 115 kV lines within the existing fence lines at Edwards Substation, Holgate Switchyard, and Kramer Substation. The Project would include the transfer of several miles of distribution lines onto the proposed new subtransmission lines, including: the transfer of a total of approximately 5 miles of existing 33 kV distribution lines to the new Kramer-Cal City 115 kV line structures, and removal of approximately 151 existing distribution structures along the line segments; and the transfer of approximately 2 miles of existing 33 kV and approximately 2 miles of existing 12 kV distribution lines to the new Cal City-Edwards-Holgate 115 kV line structures, and removal of approximately 90 existing distribution structures along the line segments.
