Update – February 2019

TVA has identified the preferred route for a new transmission line that would provide power for growing load and increase power reliability in the Olive Branch area.  TVA’s new line would provide an alternate power supply to Northcentral Electric Power Association’s (EPA’s) Mineral Wells Substation in Olive Branch.  

TVA evaluated each route using social, engineering and environmental factors.  Information sources included available data, aerial photography, limited onsite reviews, public review and comment and property owner input.  Based on public input and evaluation, the preferred route is expected to have the least overall project impacts of the alternatives.

The 5.03-mile line would begin at TVA’s Freeport-Miller 161-kV Transmission Line-Tap to West Pleasant Hill Substation and extend northeast to Northcentral EPA’s Mineral Wells Substation off Highway 78.  TVA would build 3.3 miles of single-circuit and rebuild as double-circuit 1.73 miles of 161-kV transmission line.  The 3.3-mile new line would consist of single-circuit, steel pole structures centered on new 100-foot-wide right of way.  The 1.73-mile rebuild portion would be on double-circuit, steel pole structures on existing right of way adjacent to railroad right of way.  

The route selected is No. 1 consisting of segment Nos. 1, 3, 4, 7, 8 and 10 as presented at the open house in October 2018.

(Dates are subject to change. During projects of this magnitude, unexpected issues may arise, resulting in the need to adjust the schedule.)
