NPPD’s electric grid is an essential link to ensuring reliability of service for our customers. A transmission project does one or more of the following…

• Supports economic development and increased system demand for electricity
• Produces a vital link between generation and load
• Builds access to regional or national wholesale energy markets
• Strengthens reliability through investments in new and existing infrastructure

This is a six-part project to build and interconnect sub-transmission system in and near Aurora.

Work on the $2.5 million, .85-mile stretch of line in central Aurora (preliminary budget estimate) project began in October 2012 (see map). The project is expected to be completed the second quarter of 2013.

The Aurora 69 kV Project is needed to:

• meet existing and projected electric energy needs in the area
• complete a multi-year plan to maintain and increase the sub-transmission system in the area
• provide the community of Aurora with multiple voltage sources – from two different NPPD 115 kV substations – thereby enhancing the reliable delivery of electric energy to the citizens of Aurora
