Twin Church / South Sioux City Area

Explosive Load Growth Due to Industrial Plant Expansions
and Many New Industrial Plants Being Developed

Continued Conversion Of Irrigation Wells From Diesel to
Electric Power

SubTransmission Capacity No Longer Able To Serve And
Back up The New Projected Loads In This Area

Single Contingency Voltage & Thermal Violations On The
Transmission System

Twin Church / South Sioux City Area
Transmission Expansion Plan

Build Two New 115 kV Transmission Lines From Twin Church
Substation to New South Sioux City Substation Forming a
115 kV Ring Configuration Around the City

Build New South Sioux City 115/69 kV Substation And Shift
Load From Twin Church to New Substation

Re-Build Twin Church 115 kV Substation To A Breaker-and-ahalf Configuration To Accommodate New 115 kV Expansion

If Loads Continue To Grow, Future Plans Are To Build A New
Homer 345/115 kV Substation And Two New 115 kV Lines
To South Sioux City And Emerson
