Project Name
Tri-State Crosspoint Substation 1041
Description
Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, Inc (Tri-State) is proposing a new 230-kV substation that sectionalizes the existing 230-kV Lincoln – Midway transmission line in El Paso County. The Project is being developed to increase the load serving capability for Tri-State’s Member, Mountain View Electric Association (MVEA), related to substantial residential growth east of Colorado Springs. The current 69-kV system is served by two delivery points at Falcon and Calhan that are increasingly incapable of serving the system and cannot maintain voltage in a contingency situation. The Project is also being developed to improve system reliability for Tri-State’s Member, Southeast Colorado Power Association (SECPA). SECPA’s 69-kV Edison Delivery Point is sourced from MVEA at the Edison Tap, which is 17 miles away, and from Calhan which is 20 miles away - the extended 69-kV system increases exposure and impacts to the system from line faults.
