AI summary Figure 16 and Figure 17 illustrate the Hammonds Plains Feeder Configurations before and after Alt A Modifications. Table 11 provides a load forecast for the feeders and transformers, indicating that the construction of Stillwater Lake substation and feeder reconfigurations should be completed by 2027 to address planning violations. The load forecast for 2035 shows that the transformer and feeders will remain within planning criteria.

Scope of this alternative: p. pp. 34-35
Scope of this alternative: - Construct a new feeder at 131H Lucasville. - Extend the new feeder 13.3 km from Lucasville to Stillwater Lake. - Build a second additional feeder from Lucasville and extend 1.8 km to Bryanston Road to provide c...

AI summary The proposed alternative involves constructing and extending new power feeders, transferring lines between circuits, and building a new substation in Stillwater Lake by 2029 to improve grid reliability and capacity.
