The construction of power transmission lines generates a significant economic contribution to the economy in the regions where the lines are constructed. American Transmission Company (ATC) constructs power lines ranging from large scale 345-kilovolt lines, like the recently completed Arrowhead-Weston line, as well as smaller capacity, 138-kilovolt lines connecting local substations, such as the recently constructed Femrite-Sprecher line. NorthStar Economics, Inc. was retained by ATC to calculate the economic impact of constructing power transmission lines of each type. For purposes of this study, it is assumed that Arrowhead-Weston and Femrite-Sprecher represent a typical large-scale 345-kV project and a typical small-scale 138-kV project, respectively. Impacts per mile of transmission line constructed are summarized below.
