CKT961 Induction Reduction Project

project
5 mentions across 3 events
The CKT961 Induction Reduction Project is an Austin Energy capital project intended to mitigate voltage induced by the utility's Circuit 961 transmission line on the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro) Red Line rail corridor, reducing touch voltage below the applicable threshold. The mitigation is to be accomplished by installing an aboveground counterpoise wire along the transmission circuit. The general route runs from the Jollyville Substation parallel to the CapMetro Red Line, crossing Ranch Road 620 North and State Highway 45, and continues east toward West Howard Lane, ending at the Ashton Woods Substation. The Austin City Council has considered resolutions authorizing eminent domain proceedings and payment to acquire permanent electric transmission and distribution easements needed for the project.
