Document Description
The project involves demolition of the 6,269 sq. ft. J26 Date Growers Building and the construction of a new 92-kV switching station, consisting of the installation of four (4) 92-kV bays, one (1) control building including relay panels and a battery room, auxiliary equipment, and related grading, grounding, concrete foundations, structures, conduit, and a perimeter block wall. Transmission power lines CI, R, K, CL, CN and CM will be relocated from the Coachella Switching Station to the new Grapefruit Switching Station. The project also includes four off-site poles for an overhead transmission line extending east across State Route 111/Grapefruit Boulevard to connect to an existing transmission tower. The existing circuit between Coachella Switching Station and Coachella Gas Turbines will be intercepted with a 92-kV double circuit transmission line to Grapefruit Switching Station. The project is being constructed in response to the findings of an IID reliability study that identified the need to upgrade the existing Coachella Switching Station.
