Current Activities

The project is currently in its fieldwork and design phase. Environmental and geotechnical (soil borings) field studies along the transmission corridors and at existing substations were completed in early 2024 and will continue at the Saltsman Road Substation site through the end of 2024 and into early 2025. 

Design will continue to progress in 2025. As the project approaches the pre-application permitting phase, neighbors will receive more details on the project design, location, timeline, and how to participate in the permitting process.
