Scottsbluff Power Project


SCOTTSBLUFF POWER PROJECT

After much planning and an eight-month routing, siting, and public involvement
process, a final line route has been determined for the Scottsbluff Power
Project’s new 115 kV transmission line. The final route was announced on May 11,
2023. Directly impacted landowners were sent a letter with a map of the final
route, and all landowners involved since the Phase 1 routing were mailed a
newsletter.

With the final route determined, the project moves into phase 4, where NPPD
representatives will begin contacting property owners along the route regarding
the project’s next steps.

NEXT STEPS

First, right-of-way (ROW) agents will set up an informal one-on-one meeting with
landowners to discuss important and unique project information. ROW agents
Shelby Mayash and Todd Muehlich have a combined 55 years of experience and will
be representing NPPD during this process. At these meetings, property owners
will be able to ask questions, provide valuable property information, and offer
insight on land-use to the project team. The agents will also discuss the
right-of-entry agreements, which will authorize NPPD to enter the property and
conduct the following activities: environmental assessments, survey activities,
and engineering and structural spotting assessments.

During May through June 2023, Westwood, a survey and mapping consultant, plans
to use LiDAR drone technologies to capture geospatial data on areas along the
final route. LiDAR stands for light detection and ranging, and it uses laser
light to measure variable distances (ranges) to the earth. Westwood plans to use
the data to create high-resolution three-dimensional representations of the
Earth’s surface, including buildings, vegetation, and the ground.

The need for this project is due to Scottsbluff’s existing transmission line
facing heavy congestion. The new line will increase the transmission system
capacity to meet electrical demand, reduce congestion, and further enhance the
reliability and resiliency of the Scottsbluff and western Nebraska areas.

Routes for a transmission project are typically developed over the course of
several phases and are then narrowed down to a final route.

In the first phase, preliminary routes or route segments were determined, and
the first open house meeting was held for landowners and interested parties to
provide input, including property information, and learn more about the project.

The second phase involved the determination of a preferred route along with
alternative routes. A second open house meeting was held for landowners and
interested parties to provide input, including property information, and learn
more about the project.

In the third public involvement phase, NPPD determined a proposed route and
presented it at a public hearing, followed by a 30-day comment period.

A final line route will be announced no earlier than thirty days after the
public hearing, at which time, right-of-way activities and final design work
will begin.
