Glencoe - Speidel138kV Transmission Line Project

---

The Glencoe-Speidel 138kV Transmission Line Project involves upgrading about 13 miles of transmission line. The project traverses Warren, Goshen and Smith townships in Belmont County. The last major reinforcement in this area was done more than 60 years ago.

The existing 69-kilovolt (kV) facilities were built in the 1940s. These will be replaced with 138-kV lines and structures. This will allow the lines to carry more current and help meet customers’ increased demand for power. The company anticipates completion of this project in spring 2020. This project will help ensure the continued reliability of the transmission system for the region’s residential, commercial and industrial customers.

AEP Ohio projects the Glencoe-Speidel line will be an approximate $20 million investment by the company.
