TRANSCRIPT
Project components include:
• Building a new Clutch Switch Substation
• Constructing just over 2 miles of
69-kilovolt transmission line
• Constructing a new Schafrath Switch
The need for improvements to the transmission
system is essential to ensure an adequate
supply of electricity is available for the area’s
industrial, commercial, and residential custom-
ers. Improvements reconfigure the design of the
electric system by creating a loop. This loop
adds redundancy, reducing power outages in
the area and speeding recovery of service when
outages occur.
The project involves constructing a new
transmission line along W. Smithville Western
Road. The line extends from the Schafrath
Switch, located near County Road 112, to the
Madisonburg Substation, located west of
Canaan Center Road. A majority of the line will
be co-located with existing distribution lines
and utilizes easements previously acquired in
2009 and 2010.
WHAT WHY WHERE
NORTH WOOSTERAREA REINFORCEMENTS PROJECT
AEP Ohio, along with AEP Ohio Transmission Company, Inc.,
is improving the electric transmission system north of
Wooster. The approximately $14 million project is essential
to support economic development in the area and improve
reliability by constructing a loop that creates redundancy.
