Project to benefit 28,000 customers and accommodate future growth
AKRON, Ohio, Nov. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Transmission Systems, Inc. (ATSI), a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp. (NYSE: FE), is constructing a new high-voltage transmission line in Lorain County, Ohio, that will enhance service reliability for approximately 28,000 customers and accommodate increasing demand for electricity in the future.
The 138-kilovolt transmission line, built alongside existing power lines, extends from a substation in the city of Lorain to a substation in Wellington Township and will improve service for customers in the Wellington, Carlisle, Homer and Seville areas.
The $24.7 million project includes installation of seven miles of new power line along the route and the reconfiguration of 20 miles of existing transmission line. ATSI will also expand the substation in Wellington to accommodate the installation of new equipment. Expected to be in service in May 2023, the line will provide a second source of power to the area that will help reduce potential outages and support future growth and economic development.
