ITC Midwest (ITC) is proposing to reconstruct and upgrade the existing 115 kV line to 161 kV between ITC’s Fernald Substation located in Story County and ITC’s Boone substation located in Boone County.Upgrading the line from 115 kV to 161 kV will also require the upgrade of existing substation equipment at substations along the 23.25 mile long line, as the line loops in and out of ITC’s Fernald, Ames, and Boone substations, and also loops through the Central Iowa Power Cooperative (CIPCO) Boone Junction Substation. ITC Midwest is planning to use the existing 115 kV right of way. To reduce the impact on landowners’ property, the present 115 KV two-pole structures will be replaced with a single pole structure.
