Coffeen St. - Adirondack <strong>New</strong> 345kV line<br />

Project to Enable Wind Generation<br />

Project Description:<br />

This project will accommodate approximately 550 MW of Wind projects located in the Watertown N.Y.<br />

area that is presently in the NYISO queue.<br />

Construct a new 345 kV transmission line between Coffeen Street substation in Watertown, NY and<br />

Adirondack substation in Taylorville, NY. This transmission line will be a single circuit tower utilizing a<br />

bundled conductor overhead construction. It will traverse Lewis and Jefferson counties. In addition,<br />

construct two transmission lines (anticipated 115 kV construction) from the town of Lyme to Watertown<br />

and the town of Henderson to Watertown. All facilities are located in NYISO Zone E.<br />

Project Size:<br />

A. Watertown to Adirondack Line traversing Lewis and Jefferson Counties<br />

Length: 40 miles<br />

Voltage: 345 kV<br />

Anticipated Construction: 2x 795 ACSR (26/7)<br />

Anticipated Rating (in MVA @ 345 kV): 1331<br />

B. Lyme to Watertown Line traversing Jefferson County<br />

Length: 16 miles<br />

Anticipated Voltage: 115 kV<br />

Anticipated Construction: 2x 795 ACSR (26/7)<br />

Anticipated Rating (summer normal MVA @ 115 kV): 444<br />

C. Watertown to Henderson Line traversing and Jefferson County<br />

Length: 25 miles<br />

Anticipated Voltage: 115 kV<br />

Anticipated Construction: 2x 795 ACSR (26/7)<br />

Anticipated Rating (in MVA @ 115 kV): 444<br />

<strong>New</strong> Terminal Stations and required upgrades:<br />

1. Add single 345 kV position at Adirondack substation<br />

(it is assumed here Adirondack Station has been previously rebuilt to 345 kV)<br />

2. Build Watertown 345 kV/ 115 kV collector station<br />

(it is presently anticipated that a nominally rated 448 MVA autotransformer<br />

will be required at this station as well as ample shunt compensation)<br />
