The increased capacity of the wires allows for greater customer demand and future connections of additional power generation sources to the grid. This approximately $50 million project entailed replacing 57 wooden pole structures with new steel structures and installing larger wires capable of carrying higher electrical loads.
The upgraded 138 kV power line spans Perry Township in Carroll County, as well as Rumley Township and Archer Township in Harrison County. The upgraded segment aims to improve service reliability for Ohio Edison customers, enhance system resiliency, and accommodate the anticipated increase in electricity demand. This enhancement is part of a larger project involving the reconstruction of a 64-mile transmission line to bolster the regional power system. FirstEnergy subsidiary American Transmission Systems has completed a significant upgrade to a nine-mile high-voltage power line in Carroll and Harrison counties, Ohio.
