Glennallen North/South Feeder Split (Double Circuit)
CVEA has begun an upgrade project between the Glennallen Diesel Plant to the intersection of the Richardson and Glenn Highways. The
purpose of the project is to install a second circuit that will enable CVEA to transfer all of the electrical services north of the highway
intersection to a new dedicated circuit. The additional circuit will improve overall system reliability and will serve to minimize impacts to the
members during system events that previously affected all members from Copper Center to Sourdough, along the Tok Road to Mile 12, and
through downtown Glennallen from the CVEA headquarters area to the highway intersection. Click here for details and a map showing the project route.
