Insights
Upgraded 11.5-mile transmission line and
The rebuild replaces aging structures with nearly 140 new steel poles, thicker conductors and deeper foundations, which increases mechanical strength and carrying capacity and enables easier rerouting by tying into adjacent lines. Those facts imply a direct operational mechanism: stronger assets reduce single-point failures and improve system topology flexibility during outages.
Key dependencies and risks include timely commissioning and successful integration with existing protection and switching schemes; energizing late this month and proper testing are required before reliability benefits materialize. The project is one discrete element within the broader
Items to watch: completion and in-service confirmation by the end of the month, any post-energization outage metrics, and capital spending cadence under Energize365 over the next several years. Those milestones will provide observable signals about whether the upgrade delivers the intended reduction in outage frequency and restoration time.
Upgraded power line expected to be energized by the end of this month
American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), a FirstEnergy (NYSE: FE) company, has rebuilt an 11.5-mile high-voltage transmission line to reduce outages and speed up restoration times when service is disrupted.
Built to Withstand the Elements
The project replaces aging infrastructure with stronger poles and thicker wires capable of carrying more electricity. Nearly 140 new steel structures were installed, many anchored in deep concrete foundations to better withstand severe weather and vehicle accidents. This is especially important in open fields, where one fallen pole can knock down others like dominos, causing bigger outages.
The upgraded line will also connect with existing lines, allowing power to be rerouted more easily during outages and minimizing service disruptions.
Mark Mroczynski, President of Transmission for FirstEnergy: "We know how frustrating power outages can be, especially in rural areas where repairs can take longer. This project is all about helping to keep the electricity flowing reliably during uncontrollable events like severe weather or car accidents and making life a little easier for our customers."
Construction began in 2023, and the line is expected to be energized by the end of this month.
