Why Are We Doing This Project?

Maintaining infrastructure is one of the many ways we support the safe and secure transmission of electricity throughout the region.

We are proposing to replace 41 existing towers with new weathering steel monopole structures, add nine new structures and replace the conductor (energized wires) with new wire of the same voltage in the towns of Beacon Falls, Naugatuck and Oxford.

This project is part of our continuing effort to address aging transmission line facilities in the Devon-Towantic-South Naugatuck corridor and improve transmission system reliability through the replacement of damaged, degraded or aging infrastructure that is determined to be at risk, including structures, conductors and shield wire.

Where Is The Work Being Done?

We are rebuilding the transmission line infrastructure that spans approximately 4 miles from the South Naugatuck substation on Cherry Street in Naugatuck to the Beacon Falls substation on Cold Springs Road in Beacon Falls.
