Indiana Michigan Power to invest $13 million in Three Rivers-area electric transmission system

Indiana Michigan Power (I&M), an American Electric Power company, recently announced plans for a $13 million electric transmission system improvement project in the Three Rivers area.

The Three Rivers Transmission Line Rebuild Project will include rebuilding approximately six miles of 69-kilovolt transmission line, building the new Ripple Substation and retiring the existing Three Rivers Substation.

“The existing infrastructure has reached an age where it needs to be replaced to better serve area customers,” the company said in a press release. “Rebuilding the line and constructing a new substation will address performance issues, improve the line’s condition and increase reliability. The improvements will reduce both the number of outages and the time needed to restore service when they occur.”

I&M will hold a come-and-go open house on Sept. 13 at Ruth Hoppin Elementary School in Three Rivers. At the event, attendees will be able to review maps, speak with company representatives and provide input on the project.

I&M expects to begin construction in fall 2018 and complete the project by summer 2019.
