New substation, transmission lines under construction

Excel­lent progress is being made on YEC’s new South Lan­cast­er 100 KV trans­mis­sion line and the new sub­sta­tion that this line will feed. The new South Lan­cast­er trans­mis­sion line and sub­sta­tion are locat­ed on High­way 75, just off High­way 521, in Lan­cast­er Coun­ty.

YEC’s Vice Pres­i­dent of Ener­gy Deliv­ery Den­ny Lynn says the new South Lan­cast­er trans­mis­sion line and sub­sta­tion will relieve a fast-grow­ing area that YEC’s Van Wyck sub­sta­tion is present­ly serv­ing and will keep pow­er flow­ing reli­ably to mem­bers we serve in the south­ern por­tion of the Lan­cast­er pan­han­dle. “It is pro­ject­ed that these con­struc­tion projects will be com­plet­ed this fall and the new sub­sta­tion will be ener­gized soon after. YEC con­tin­ues to build for the future, with the aim that our mem­bers will ben­e­fit from the improve­ments we’re mak­ing to our sys­tem.”
