Dear Neighbor,
As part of our everyday effort to deliver reliable energy, we are preparing to replace transmission structures, conductor (wire), and install fiber optic cable, known as Optical Ground Wire (OPGW), on our existing transmission line in the communities of Whitefield, Jefferson, Randolph, Gorham, and Berlin, N.H. This project, called the Whitefield to Berlin (S136) Line Rebuild Project, is designed to improve the reliability of the electric system serving New Hampshire communities.
Keeping You Informed
Since portions of this work will take place on or near your property, we wanted to keep you informed of upcoming activities. Starting soon, our construction team will be working within the power line corridor to replace existing infrastructure. The new structures will be of a similar design but made of weathering steel, which is more resilient against rot, insect and woodpecker damage, and can better withstand severe weather. The installation of OPGW will improve communication between our substations, which provides quicker response times for system issues, reduces duration of power outages, and improves reliability across the system. Please see the enclosed Construction Fact Sheet for more details on this upcoming work.
We Want to Hear from You
With construction scheduled to start soon, we want to make sure you have the opportunity to learn more about the project and what it means for your property. Our team is prepared to answer any questions you might have and is ready to connect with you in the following ways:
