Montour Falls - Hillside 115 kV Line Reconductoring
Project to Enable Wind Generation
Project Description:
Reconductor the two existing 115 kV lines (963 and 978) from Montour Falls Substation to Hillside
Substation with a conductor sized to no less than double 1033 ACSR or equivalent (2500A summer
normal). The existing line extends from Village of Montour Falls (Schuyler County) to the City of Elmira
(Chemung County). All terminals of the project are located in NYISO Zone C.
Project Size:
Length: 16 miles
Voltage: 115kV
Anticipated rating (summer normal): 2500A
Terminal Stations and required upgrades:
The terminal substations are Montour Falls and Hillside. The 115 kV buswork, switches and current
transformers at Montour Falls and Hillside Substations will need to be upgraded to match the capacity of
the 2-1033 ACSR conductor.
