East Logan - South LancasterTransmission Line Rebuild Project

AEP Ohio representatives plan to upgrade the electric transmission network serving customers in Fairfield and Hocking counties.

The project involves:

• Rebuilding about 15 miles of 69-kV transmission line from East Logan Substation, located off East Front Street in Logan, to South Lancaster Substation, located off Sugar Grove Road in Lancaster.
• Replacing aging lattice towers and wooden poles with single steel poles
• Removing about 2 miles of transmission facilities

Improvements to the nearly 100-year-old power line reduce the likelihood of larger, sustained community power outages by replacing deteriorating steel lattice and wooden poles. An upgrade to modern steel poles reduces the need for frequent power line maintenance and improves the line’s operational performance.

Company representatives plan to complete upgrades in or near it’s current location in most areas.

Early 2025: Company representatives continue to work to design and engineer the transmission line rebuild. We understand the importance of keeping you informed and plan to update you on next steps for the project as soon as we have more information and an updated schedule.
