Superior-Silver King 115kV relocation project

SRP received a request from Resolution Copper Mining, LLC, ("Resolution") a private property owner and SRP customer, to relocate a portion of the existing Superior-to-Silver King 115kV transmission line, near the Town of Superior. The relocation would occur entirely on Resolution's private property. In response to Resolution's request, SRP is proposing to relocate approximately one mile of the existing 115kV line to the northwest, adjacent and parallel to an existing transmission line corridor.

Arizona Corporation Commission grants CEC
