Amite - Fernwood 115 kV: Upgrade Capacity of Line
Scenario:
- The Amite to Fernwood 115kV line, located in south Louisiana, north of Lake
Pontchartrain, extending north into southern Mississippi is 32 miles long. Amite to the Mississippi state line is approximately 17 miles and from the state line to Fernwood is approximately 15 miles. This 115kV line, constructed with 4/0 ACSR conductor, is part of the Amite to McComb tie between EMI and ELI.
- Single contingencies in Mississippi of Brookhaven to Mallalieu, Mallalieu to
Norfield, or Norfield to McComb in 2005 will cause overloads up to 24% on the Amite-Kentwood-Colonial Pipeline-Fernwood line segments. Recommended Solution:
- Rebuild the line with 1,272 MCM ACSR conductor to obtain a line rating of 261
MVA on the line from Amite to Fernwood line.
- Estimated Cost: $6.3 MM for EMI’s portion
