Rutland, VT – August 30, 2024 – Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO), is inviting neighbors in Georgia, St. Albans, Swanton and Highgate, and anyone interested, to a public meeting about the upcoming construction of the Franklin County Line Upgrade Project. The meeting will be held on Monday, September 9, 2024, at 5:00 PM at the St. Albans Town Office located at 398 Georgia Shore Road in St. Albans. Project staff will be present to provide an overview of the construction plans beginning in September 2024 and answer questions about the project.
The Franklin County Line Upgrade Project seeks to enhance the reliability and capacity of VELCO’s Georgia-to-Highgate electric transmission line by replacing aging two-pole wood structures with more resilient single-pole steel structures. This upgrade will not only improve the line's reliability but also increase its capacity to accommodate additional in-state renewable energy generation.
Construction is anticipated to begin in September, pending final permit approvals. The project phases are outlined below:
