Proposed Transmission Project

TVA is considering improvements to its transmission system that would provide power for growing load and increase power reliability in the Waldens Creek and Wears Valley area of Sevier County in Tennessee.

TVA must plan its transmission system according to industrywide standards established by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC).  These standards state that the TVA transmission system must be able to provide power during a single-failure event while continuing to serve customer loads with adequate voltage and no overloaded facilities.

Sevier County Electric System (SCES) currently serves the Waldens Creek area from their North Pigeon Forge 161-kilovolt Substation and their Wears Valley 69-kilovolt Substation.  In recent years, the load on these stations reached winter demands above their availability to supply power during a single-failure event.  SCES’s North Gatlinburg 161-69-kilovolt station serves as back feed for the Pigeon Forge 161-69-kilovolt transformer in emergency conditions.  If back feed were required from the North Gatlinburg station during heavy demand periods, this station would also be operating over capacity.

To accommodate the growing demand for electricity in the area, SCES is proposing to build the Waldens Creek 161-kilovolt Substation.  TVA would connect to the existing Douglas Hydro-Pigeon Forge No. 2 161-kilovolt Transmission Line and build a 161-kilovolt transmission line to SCES’s proposed substation.  The new Waldens Creek 161-kilovolt Substation would resolve the loading issue at North Pigeon Forge and Wears Valley stations and would improve voltage drop at the Wears Valley and Townsend stations.  This new transmission infrastructure would reduce losses in the system, increase power reliability, and support growing load in the Waldens Creek and Wears Valley area of Sevier County.

TVA proposes to build about 2 to 4 miles of single-circuit, 161-kilovolt power line to serve the new substation.  The proposed power line would begin at a point on TVA’s existing Douglas Hydro-Pigeon Forge No. 2 161-kilovolt Transmission Line and extend west to SCES’s new Waldens Creek Substation. 

The line would be built using primarily single-pole structures (with the possibility of 2-pole, H‑frame structures in hilly terrain) centered on new 100-foot-wide right of way.  TVA is considering 3 alternative connection points and 31 alternative routes consisting of 18 alternative segments for the path of the new power line.

TVA will hold an open house on Thursday, February 20, 2025, to provide information, answer questions and receive comments about the proposed transmission project.  For those unable to attend the open house February 20, 2025, TVA is providing a virtual open house from February 20 through March 24, 2025, online at tvavirtual.com/waldenscreek.

The project is expected to be in service in winter 2026-2027.  Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2026.  (Dates are subject to change. Unexpected issues may arise, resulting in the need to adjust the schedule.)

TVA's process for siting new transmission projects is designed to allow public input at various stages. TVA is committed to working with area stakeholders to address concerns during various stages of the project. Comments received during the comment period will be used in reaching a decision on the proposed action.

TVA will hold an open house to discuss the proposed transmission project. Details are as follows:
