Join Us for a Community Meeting to Discuss SVP's New Transmission Line Project
Silicon Valley Power (SVP) is proposing to construct 2.24 miles of new 115 kV transmission line connecting the Northern Receiving Station (NRS) and Kifer Receiving Station (KRS). This project aims to balance and redistribute energy and support load growth.
An Initial Study was completed by Aspen Environmental Group on behalf of SVP, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and is available for review in the Planning Division office in City Hall at 1500 Warburton Avenue, the Northside Branch Library at 695 Moreland Way, and online at: SiliconValleyPower.com/115kv. Based on the Initial Study, since the project involves constructing a new 2.24-mile-long overhead and/or underground 115 kV transmission line between the Northern Receiving Station (NRS) and Kifer Receiving Station (KRS) to enhance SVP’s system capacity and reliability, the project is not expected to have a significant environmental impact. This is due to the incorporation of mitigation measures through conditions of approval, which will reduce potential impacts to a less-than-significant level.
To help the affected community understand the Initial Study and to explain how the public can participate in SVP’s decision-making process, SVP will hold an in-person community meeting.
