These sets of 69KV lines. I do believe that at least three of the wires are 230KV. These are on their way to the Scott substation.
View southerly on the Dow Highway (ME Rt 236) in South Berwick, showing construction of a new 345 kV circuit by Central Maine Power. Originally a double circuit 115 kV corridor with "traditional" wood H-frame structures. Rebuilt 2009 - 2013 with the compact design to provide room for the new 345 circuit. Taken April 27 2014.
The top is Entergy, the bottom is LUS. Apparently LUS changed the second pole and put metal crossarms on both theirs and Entergy's lines.
I always thought these things had a cool shape to them. I didn't have a tripod with me when I took this. I tried quite a few shots hand-held but this was as sharp as I could get.
The double H-Frame is Cleco's double 138kv. The single circuit double H-frame is Entergy's 138kv and the new steel pole looks like a new 230kv line that Cleco is building. They've only got a few poles being built, but I wonder where the lines will be going.
This is one of Entergy's concrete poles. If any poles in this line or similar ones are changed, they are changed with a concrete pole.
