Overload of the Barre to Berlin 115 kV line has been identified as a reliability deficiency at load levels projected to be reached in 2016. The transmission solution examined in the analysis thus far is to rebuild the Barre to Berlin line. This is a bulk system issue that is the responsibility of VELCO and will be addressed in the 2009 study cycle.
The map below shows roughly the area of Vermont potentially affected by this reliability deficiency.
