Possibly Kansas City or Independence Power and Light or Aquila - Near Fort Osage Township, MO

Random School Bus picture from 2017, I do have better ones. This 161kv line’s ownership has always remained a mystery to me ever since I started to get privy with power line ownership as a child. Built some time in the 1990’s. It’s very confusing since this line feeds a substation that feeds my house, and I have KCP&L.

 

The line comes out the Independence Power & Light Blue Valley Power Plant, interconnects with a Aquila/MoPub Line at a IP&L switch yard (that includes a Aquila Line coming North West from IP&L’s Missouri City Plant, and then continues South East. Said line was built before this line), and a neither Aquila interconnection at the now decommissioned Sibley Generating Station, where the line ends. Essentially, this Transmission Line connections 2 IP&L plants with a Aquila Plant and feeds one set of KCP&L consumers (me).

 

This line also runs through a area of Former KCP&L Territory south of US 24 HWY that is now owned by IP&L, which is interesting in itself.
