AEP Ohio representatives plan power grid upgrades to strengthen electric reliability for customers in northern Franklin and southern Delaware counties. The Huntley Extension Transmission Line Rebuild Project involves rebuilding 2.6 miles of 138-kilovolt transmission line between Interstate 270 west of Huntley Road and just north of Lazelle Road.
Crews plan to rebuild the transmission line within or near the existing right-of-way corridor and may need to update or supplement current easements. Easements are defined land rights that provide the utility with access needed to safely build, operate and maintain its power lines.
*This project requires Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) approval.
