Updates

• January 2021 - Foundation installation on phase 1 from Kinderton-Omega is nearly complete. Crews continue to install structures and pull in conductor wire.
• March 2021 – Project update postcard sent to community.
• April 2021 – Crews have nearly completed phase 1 work from Kinderton-Omega. Work is beginning on phases 2 and 3.

Our suggested approach is to rebuild this line in a manner that:

• Upgrades the line the current 115 kV standards
• Maximizes use of the existing right of way corridor
• Maintains reliable service to over 2,000 Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative customers served by a substation connected to the line
