NPPD wants input for transmission line for pipeline
OSCEOLA -- The Nebraska Public Power District is asking for public input on new transmission lines that will supply power to new pumping stations for the TransCanada Keystone XL Pipeline.
TransCanada is planning to build a crude oil pipeline through central Nebraska which includes the construction of five pumping stations to move crude oil. NPPD's project will involve the construction of three new 115,000-volt transmission lines in Central Nebraska to provide electric energy to three NPPD wholesale customers--Niobrara Valley EMC, Loup Valleys RPPD and Southern Power District to serve the needs of TransCanada's new pumping stations.
NPPD is conducting public hearings in Osceola, Central City, Bartlett and Albion this week. These are the county seats for the counties where the proposed final transmission line route is planned.
Construction of the transmission line is scheduled for mid-2011 to be in service mid-2012. The proposed final route for the line will be determined by reviewing property information received from landowners through open house meetings and more than 36 routing criteria.
TransCanada will pay for a large majority of the costs of building these facilities.
