Environmental assessment: Buffalo Bill area 69-kV transmission lines, Cody, Wyoming
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5144423
The Western Area Power Administration (Western) proposes to remove two existing 34.5-kV transmission lines connecting Shoshone Powerplant-Heart Mountain Switchyard-North Cody Substation and replace them with a new 69-kV line. The new 69-kV line would connect the proposed Buffalo Bill Switchyard to North Cody Substation. An abandoned 69-kV line connecting Shoshone Powerplant and Heart Mountain Switchyard would be rebuilt and returned to service between Buffalo Bill Switchyard and Heart Mountain Switchyard. This action is proposed because the existing lines, built between 1922 and 1941, have reached the end of their useful life due to their deteriorated condition. In order to provide for the increased generation of the Shoshone and Buffalo Bill powerplants, the capacity of the existing transmission system into Buffalo Bill Powerplant must be upgraded to prevent overload and inevitable system interruptions. Reliability of service in the area would be improved by replacement of the existing deteriorated lines with new construction. 25 refs., 7 figs., 1 tab.
