PUC Docket No. E002/TL-11-223 November 30, 2011 <br /> footprint. The Project would connect the new substation to the existing Xcel Energy 115 kV <br /> transmission line 0831 through new double circuit 115 kV transmission lines of approximately <br /> 0.4 miles. The Project, as proposed, would also relocate approximately 0.2 miles of 115 kV <br /> transmission line. While not part of the Route Permit requested by Xcel Energy, approximately <br /> 400 feet of the existing Great River Energy 69 kV transmission line BD would be rerouted <br /> around the new Orono Substation. <br /> Xcel Energy proposes to use steel single-pole structures with spans of approximately 300 to 500 <br /> feet between poles; structure heights are anticipated to range from 70 to 90 feet for the single- <br /> circuit structures to 75 to 115 feet for the double-circuit structures. Xcel Energy is requesting a <br /> route width of approximately 400 feet, or 200 feet either side of the proposed alignment shown <br /> in the Application maps. The anticipated right-of-way for the new transmission line would be 75 <br /> feet. <br /> The Project is located entirely within the city of Orono in Hennepin County. Xcel Energy <br /> estimates the cost for the Project at approximately $5.3 million dollars. <br /> Project Contacts.
