Axtell to Lovelake 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).

Northeast Power has identified a need to upgrade transmission infrastructure in the area by rebuilding portions of existing lines within the Mark Bottoms, north of Palmyra. One 161 kV line runs from Northeast Power’s South River 161 kV Substation, east of Palmyra to the Palmyra 345 Substation, northwest of Palmyra. The second 161 kV transmission line runs from Northeast Power’s South River 161 kV Substation to the Emerson Substation, near Emerson. The 69kV line runs from Northeast Power’s 69 kV South River Switch Station to the Taylor Substation, near Taylor.

Zachary to Locust Creek Transmission Project

The Zachary-Locust Creek Transmission Project is a new 161 kV transmission line running from Ameren Transmission Company of Illinois’ (ATXI) Zachary Substation (south of Kirksville) to NW Electric Power Cooperative (NW Power) Locust Creek substation (west of Milan), that is being jointly coordinated by NW Power and Northeast Missouri Electric Power Cooperative (Northeast Power).

During open house meetings in 2023, the project was presented as a co-location effort with ATXI. After several months of delay, the project is now moving forward as a joint co-located transmission line between ATXI and NW Power/Northeast Power. This collaboration allows both utilities to share a common corridor, reducing land impacts while improving reliability for members across the region.

Missouri to Iowa Transmission Project

Northeast Power has identified a need to increase transfer capacity and improve reliability between our Missouri and Iowa transmission systems. To address this, a series of transmission system upgrades, including a portion of new greenfield construction, are being planned and constructed. Collectively, these efforts are referred to as the Missouri to Iowa Transmission Project.

 

Phase 1: Winchester Substation to to Franklin Switch Station

Phase 1 of the Missouri-to-Iowa Transmission Project includes multiple coordinated segments designed to strengthen regional reliability and interconnectivity across utility systems. The work involves joint construction efforts with ITC Midwest and Ameren Missouri, as well as a new Greenfield transmission section and a Northeast Power-owned line rebuild. Together, these components represent the first major step toward enhancing system capacity, supporting long-term load growth, and improving operational flexibility for member cooperatives in both Missouri and Iowa.
