Progress Energy's Transmission Lines to Mostly Follow Existing Path

This corridor along Sunshine Grove Road north of State Road 50 is part of where Progress Energy will run transmission lines through Hernando County. The 200-mile project could impact as many as 13,500 property owners in Florida.

Progress Energy Florida is considering adding about 200 miles of transmission lines across 10 counties to maintain reliability and to move energy efficiently to customers throughout the region and state. The lines would be 230 and 500 kilovolts (kV).

All but 20 miles of the 200-mile project will follow existing routes. New transmission lines will slice through parts of northwest Citrus County, along a stretch south of Wildwood in Sumter County, and a small swathe northwest of Brookridge in Hernando County. In Hillsborough County, upgraded lines will follow existing paths.

I have a client who received a letter from Progress Energy saying his property will be effected by the new lines. But they are not sure to what degree yet. They mentioned that they will most likely replace the current towers with single poles in his area.
