TVA Invites Public to Open House for Proposed Transmission Project In Logan and Todd Counties

Nov 20, 2024

Elkton, KY – The Tennessee Valley Authority is asking for public input on proposed transmission system improvements to continue to serve growing electrical load and increase power reliability in the Logan and Todd County areas of Kentucky.

TVA is proposing to build a switching station from 19.5 to 22.5 miles of single-circuit transmission line. The new line would begin at the new switching station to be located off Old Trenton Road and would extend east to the Cave Springs Switching Station.  The new line would be built using primarily single- and double-pole (H-frame), steel structures centered on new 100-foot-wide right of way.

  • What: Proposed Transmission Project Open House
  • When: Thursday, December 5, 2024, 12 noon - 7:00 p.m. CT
  • Where: Milliken Memorial Community House, 208 W. Main Street, Elkton, Kentucky 42220
  • Other: TVA staff will answer questions, discuss concerns, and receive comments. More information, including maps and the project schedule, is available on TVA.com. For those unable to attend the open house, TVA is also providing a virtual open house through January 6, 2025.

The public may also submit comments by contacting TVA’s Nathan Murrell toll-free at 800-362-4355, by email at [email protected] or by mail to: Nathan Murrell, Tennessee Valley Authority, 1101 Market Street, MR 4G, Chattanooga, TN, 37402-2801. The deadline for comments is January 6, 2025.

TVA reports the region growing three times faster than the national average and the University of Tennessee’s Baker School projects our region’s population to grow 22% by 2050. To support this growth on a local level, TVA is investing $2.8 billion to strengthen the power grid across its service area through 2027. With nearly 60% of TVA’s energy already carbon-free, these power grid improvements will help ensure the region’s energy security as the agency provides reliable, affordable, resilient, and clean energy.
