Why Are We Doing This Project?
As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver reliable energy and superior service, we are replacing two existing 115-kilovolt (kV) underground transmission lines in the Hartford area.
These two existing transmission lines, installed in 1974, are past their expected operating life of 40 years and the material is no longer being widely produced by manufacturers.
