Summary
Lower Yellowstone Rural Electric Association (LYREA) has applied to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Western Area Power Administration (Western) for a new electrical interconnection. Part of this project will require the construction of the new Fairview West switchyard which will be constructed, owned, operated and maintained by Western. LYREA is proposing to construct a new 115-kilovolt (kV) transmission line which will interconnect with an existing Western transmission line at the new Fairview West switchyard.
