To improve reliability and meet the region’s growing energy demands, ITC Midwest is proposing to build a new electric transmission line and substation in northern Linn County.
The Hiawatha-Coffey line will connect ITC Midwest’s existing Hiawatha electric substation (located in the south part of Robins) to a proposed new substation, called Coffey substation, to be located on Austin Road one-half mile west of Highway 13. The new line will connect the two substations, which are approximately 10 miles apart, and carry electricity at 161 kilovolts (161 kV).
