The EastPark Transmission Project consists
of building 3 miles of new transmission line
and a new substation in Boyd County. The
work will provide electric service to Braidy
Industries planned aluminum mill facility in
the EastPark Industrial Center. The route for
the new line will be determined after public
input is received on the proposed study
segments. The project will require an
approximate 100-foot wide right-of-way.
The EastPark Industrial Center in Boyd County
needs a robust power source capable of
supplying power to Braidy Industries planned
facilities. The new line will also create a robust
transmission system that will increase
economic development opportunities in the
region.
The proposed transmission line will connect to
the existing Chadwick-KES Transmission Line
near Kentucky Electric Steel north of I-64. The
study segments travel to the northwest going
on each side of the Champion Fastpitch Athletic
Complex. The study segments continue north,
crossing Straight Creek Road, Buena Vista
Drive and ending at the proposed substation
along S. Commerce Drive in the
industrial park.
WHAT WHY WHERE
Kentucky Power is planning to strengthen the power grid and increase economic development
opportunities in eastern Kentucky by making significant upgrades to the electric transmission system
in Boyd County. The EastPark Transmission Project consists of building approximately 3 miles of
electric transmission line and a new substation to provide service to Braidy Industries planned
aluminum mill facility in the EastPark Industrial Center. Once complete, the work will provide the
1,000-acre business park with a reliable and robust power source capable of handling continued
business growth. Construction is expected to start this fall and be complete by the end of 2019.
