Pioneer Transmission
to develop
new power line project
P
ioneer Transmission, a joint venture (JV) between American
Electric Power (AEP) and Duke Energy, will develop a 55-mile
power transmission project with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA)
in Indiana and Kentucky. The parties plan to construct a 765kV
power line connecting AEP’s Rockport Station, east of Evansville,
Indiana, with TVA’s Paradise Station in Drakesboro, Kentucky.
The project, which will also include construction of a new 765kV
substation at Paradise, is expected to cost about $275m.
The Rockport-Paradise proposal, which requires siting approval
from the Kentucky Public Service Commission, will be submitted
to PJM Interconnection, a US-based power marketer, for
consideration in its regional planning process.
Recent
additions to
CCCA ranks
The Communications Cable
and Connectivity Association
(CCCA) board of directors
installed and welcomed
comCables, a structured
cabling manufacturer and
low-voltage systems distributor,
and Panduit as new members
during its spring 2011 meeting.
Kevin Ressler, CCCA
chairman, said: “CCCA’s
continued growth and diversity
in membership across industry
segments is a very gratifying
indicator of the broad appeal
and value of our association’s
initiatives and programs.”
Greg Greenwood, CEO of
comCables added: “comCables
is excited about joining the
CCCA because it’s a strong
association that represents
comCables’ commitment
to quality products and doing
business with integrity.
We believe that CCCA’s work
to preserve the codes and
standards of the structured
cabling industry is vital to our
industry’s future growth and
success.”
Panduit’s Tom Kelly said:
“Panduit has been impressed
with CCCA’s initiatives and
activity to stem the importation
of potentially hazardous,
non-compliant cables into
North America. We view
CCCA as a strong industry
association and excellent
platform for Panduit, and other
members, to address
the proliferation of counterfeit
products plaguing all levels
of the structured cabling
industry.”
