Public Service Electric & Gas Co. has proposed expansion of an existing 230-kilowatt power line and approximately 80-foot towers from Berwick, Pa. to Roseland. It is proposing a double circuit line with one circuit being operated at 500 kV and the second circuit being energized at 230 kV.
The existing single line now on the right-of-way would be removed and replaced with larger 190-foot towers. The $750 million, 45-mile project could earn up to a 12.9 percent return on its equity investment, according to The Wall Street Journal.
