The Simpson-Batavia project is a 23 mile, 138,000 volt (138 kV) line that will connect two existing substations – the Simpson substation in St. Joseph County and the Batavia substation in Branch County – increasing the reliability and capacity of the region’s transmission grid to accommodate future growth. The Midwest Independent Transmission System Operator (Midwest ISO), the outside independent transmission planning authority established by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, found the Simpson-Batavia line to be a necessary element for the reliability and capacity of the regional electricity grid.
