Axtell to Bevier Transmission Line Rebuild
Northeast Power has identified a need to upgrade transmission infrastructure in Macon Electric Cooperative's territory by rebuilding an existing 69 kV transmission line as a 161 kV line running from our new Axtell Switch Station (north of Macon) to our Bevier Switch Station (south of Bevier).
About the Project
This project will help Northeast Power reliably meet the long-term needs of our electric cooperative members and communities.
The project will consist of reconstructing approximately 6.5 miles of existing 69 kV transmission line with larger conductor (wire) on taller steel monopole structures that will allow for 161 kV clearances.
We have been made aware of potential renewable energy projects to be constructed in the area. Please note neither Northeast Power nor Macon Electric Cooperative are involved with these projects. The Axtell to Bevier Transmission Line Rebuild is necessary to enhance the reliability and resiliency of the transmission grid, regardless of specific renewable energy efforts in the region.
