Kingston - Gravel PointTransmission Improvements Project

The Kingston - Gravel Point Transmission Improvements Project involves replacing approximately 5 miles of 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line with 138-kV transmission line. The transmission line was constructed in the 1950s and is past its planned service life.

The project:

• Includes upgrades to SWEPCO's Kingston and Gravel Point substations
• Replaces deteriorating wooden poles with modern steel poles
• Decreases the likelihood and duration of wide, community-sustained power outages
• Strengthens the system against severe weather
• Provides additional power capacity to accommodate regional growth
