Grace - North MuskingumTransmission Line Rebuild Project
AEP Ohio representatives plan power upgrades in Morgan County. The upgrades improve electrical reliability by replacing deteriorating wooden poles with modern steel poles.
The Grace - North Muskingum Transmission Line Rebuild Project involves:
- Rebuilding about 22 miles of 69-kilovolt transmission line.
- Building Grace Substation located off OH-792 in Stockport.
- Retiring about 9 miles of transmission line.
Company representatives plan to rebuild the line in or near its current location to provide the utility with access needed to safely build, operate and maintain its power lines while updating, supplementing and obtaining new easements where necessary. Easements are property rights that provide the utility with access needed to safely build, operate and maintain its power lines.
Project Updates
Spring 2025: Landowners can expect to hear from a Contract Land Staff agent (CLS, AEP Ohio's right-of-way representative for this project) to answer any questions about necessary easements and to discuss next steps in the project in the coming weeks.
