A
ternatives
Goal: sectionalize Airport -Whitney line
•
•
•
Alternative 1 — expand existing Airport Substation
• Cost and extent of required improvements and site constraints
• Landowner's future development plans further restrict siting
Alternative 2 - new substation
• Most efficient and cost-effective, improves reliability
• Connects to existing WAPA 115 -kV transmission line
Alternative 3 - energy storage
• Large enough battery is cost -prohibitive, charging would strain the distribution system
