| Project Detail |
Appalachian Power and its affiliate, AEP West Virginia Transmission Co.Inc., plan to upgrade the electric transmission grid in Fayette and Raleigh counties. The Bradley – Scarbro Transmission Line Project includes rebuilding 8 miles of transmission line, upgrading existing substations, and retiring a substation. These upgrades will strengthen the system and reduce the likelihood of power outages. Construction is expected to begin Fall 2019 and be completed Summer 2021.

galvanized steel single-circuit structures
depending on terrain and other factors. The
majority of the structures will be H-frames
and/or lattice tower structures.

Appalachian Power carefully balances the
energy needs of its customers while protecting
