Project Overview and Need

Project Overview

• Phase I (Estimated In-Service 2021)– One new 69/12kV substation (W03)– One double-circuit, or two single-circuit, 69kV powerline(s) from the

planned W03 substation to the existing Raceway to Calderwood 69kV powerline located in the eastern portion of the Project study area

• Future Phases (Estimated In-Service 5-10+ years)– One 230/69/12kV substation (TS14)– Two 69/12kV substations (W04, W05)– 230kV interconnection (less than two spans) from the existing Sun Valley

to Morgan 500/230kV transmission line to the planned TS14 substation – 69kV powerlines with looped connections to/from W03, W04, W05, and

TS14 substations

• APS is in the early stages of the planning process and is conducting agency and public involvement outreach prior to identifying preferred powerline routes

*Phase 1*Phase 1 - Conceptual connections to, and location of, Substation W03

Siting Areas and Potential Electrical Transmission Connnectionneeds are conceptual and not all connections are required.Conceptual 69/12kV Substation Siting Areas, as displayed, areapproximately 875 acres. Actual 69/12kV Substation sites requireapproximately 5 acres.

Note:

Project Need

• Provide additional, separate, 69kV and 230kV power sources, allowing the system to serve new development and increased electricity use within existing developments

• Improve reliability in the area by adding additional 69kV and 230kV facilities, strengthening the regional electrical system, and helping to prevent potential outages

• Provide operating flexibility by creating new loops and sources into the area

Considerations

Project Description

• Phase I (Estimated In-Service 2021)– One new 69/12kV substation (W03)– One double-circuit, or two single-circuit, 69kV powerline(s) from the planned W03

substation to the existing Raceway to Calderwood 69kV powerline located in the eastern portion of the Project study area

• Future Phases (Estimated In-Service 5-10+ years)– One 230/69/12kV substation (TS14)– Two 69/12kV substations (W04, W05)– 230kV interconnection (less than two spans) from the existing Sun Valley to Morgan

500/230kV transmission line to the planned TS14 substation – 69kV powerlines with looped connections to/from W03, W04, W05, and TS14 substations

• A new 69kV powerline route will require right-of-way or easement up to 60 feet wide, and construction of new steel monopoles approximately 65 feet tall (may include 12kV underbuild)

• A new 69kV substation will require an approximate 5-acre site

Planning Process

• Insert siting process chart

Next Steps in Planning Process

• Collect, respond, and document public and agency comments

• Alternative route/location identification –May/June 2018

• Complete detailed inventory• Impact assessment• Next open house – August/September 2018• Alternative route/location comparison• Final route/location selection –

November/December 2018

Environmental Studies Overview

• Land Use – existing/future land use and jurisdictional planning guidelines

• Visual – sensitive viewers (residences, parks, and travel routes)

• Cultural – final routes will be designed to minimize impacts to culturally sensitive sites

• Biology – final routes will be designed to minimize impacts to sensitive habitat

Opportunities and Constraints Analysis

• Identify opportunities and constraints through evaluation of environmental resources within the project study area

• Conduct an analysis of various land use and environmental resource sensitivities to the construction, operation, and maintenance of 230/69/12kV powerlines and substations

Factors Considered in Route Identification• Minimize impact to sensitive resource

areas– Existing residences, schools, etc.

• Maximize use of siting opportunities– Parallel existing linear features, including

roads, transmission lines, powerlines, and canals
