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
