Ladysmith–Elmont

Overview

Descripción General

The 26.5-mile, 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between the Ladysmith and Elmont substations is being rebuilt. Work began on this existing transmission line in 2024 to bring facilities up to current reliability and safety standards. Construction is scheduled to end in June 2026.

In addition to this rebuild, wires will now be placed on the 230kV circuit underbuild, a process known as conductoring. Several new structures will also be installed near the Ladysmith and Elmont substations.
