Transmission Line Project

State Application Filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission

Arizona Public Service Company filed an application for a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility (CEC) with the Arizona Corporation Commission on July 1, 2008. The application is a result of nearly a year of reviewing comments from officials, residents and affected stakeholders along with performing environmental and technical analyses on nearly 400 miles of potential alternatives. APS' application includes the selection of a preferred route along with three acceptable alternatives. The route that is ultimately selected will connect the previously approved TS-5 (Sun Valley) substation in Buckeye with the previously approved TS-9 substation in Peoria.

Copies of the complete CEC can be viewed publically at the following locations:

Buckeye Public Library located at 310 North 6th Street in Buckeye
Peoria Public Library located at 8463 West Monroe Street in Peoria
