Alternate routes costly to AEP
AEP said alternatives to its preferred 765 kilovolt line would be longer and more expensive and delaying the project by over a year. A delay in the West Virginia Cloverdale line could raise blackout risk, though alternatives might enable future power delivery from the Midwest to the East. The SCC asked study of two proposed lines, from Wyoming West Virginia to Jacksons Ferry East and from Axton near Martinsville to Joshua Falls east of Lynchburg. The earliest the Wy Cloverdale line could be in place is winter 2002 or 2003, risking overload of the current system by then.
