The planned 130-mile, 500 kV circuit from Susquehanna to Lackawanna to<br />
Roseland will tie into the existing 500 kV network and, with the addition of 500/230<br />
kV transformers, will create a strong link from generation sources in Northeastern<br />
and North Central <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> into New Jersey. These facilities are expected to<br />
be in service by June 2012.<br />
The Potomac-Appalachian Transmission Highline consists of a 244-mile<br />
Amos to Bedington 765 kV line and a 92-mile, twin circuit 500 kV line from<br />
Bedington to Kemptown. This project will reduce the west-to-east power flow on<br />
the existing PJM 500 kV transmission paths and provide significant benefits to the<br />
constrained area of Washington and Baltimore.<br />
The fourth “backbone” project is the Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway, consisting<br />
of a new 190-mile 500 kV line beginning at Possum Point, Virginia, and<br />
terminating at Salem, New Jersey.<br />
