Central Ferry Substation Puget Sound Energy Inc. (PSE) asked BPA to interconnect up to 1250 megawatts of electricity generated from PSE's proposed Lower Snake River Wind Energy Project in Garfield and Columbia counties, Washington to the Federal Columbia River Transmission System. PSE would independently build, own, and operate the project and its associated facilities. BPA proposes to build a new 500/230-kilovolt substation along its two existing Little Goose-Lower Granite 500-kilovolt transmission lines to provide interconnection for PSE's project. This new BPA facility, called Central Ferry Substation, would require approximately 25 acres of land in the Pomeroy area of Garfield County, Wash. The substation would be adjacent to existing transmission line rights-of-way. Schedule BPA is conducting and environmental review and will accept comments on the proposed substation and interconnection through Nov. 13. Additional project information
