What is the AEP Interstate Project?
The proposed AEP Interstate Project consists of a 765 kilovolt (kV) line connecting AEP’s Amos 765 kV station to Allegheny Power’s Doubs 500 kV station in Maryland , and terminating at Public Service Electric & Gas’ Deans 500 kV station in New Jersey . The total proposed line length is approximately 550 miles. The project will greatly improve power transfer capability from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic states . Transfer capability improvements are expected to be approximately 5,000 megawatts (MW) with transmission line loss reductions of approximately 280 MW at peak loading conditions.
