What's Being Built in Orange
Note that the descriptions below are typical designs for your area and do not represent the specific structure design and height being constructed on the right of way on your property.

Overhead Lines
The right of way (ROW) in Orange is 165 feet wide and covers a distance of 5.9 miles. Today, there are three 115-kV overhead transmission structures on this ROW: two wood H-Frames and one steel lattice structure. The three existing structures are being removed and replaced with two new steel structures. For the new 345-kV line, the Connecticut Siting Council (CSC) decision calls for a compact delta monopole (typical height, 85 feet) in the less populated areas of Orange between the Woodbridge and West Haven town lines.

A split-phase monopole (typical height, 105 feet) designed to lower magnetic fields will be used in the more populated areas of Orange between the West Haven and Milford town lines. The two 115-kV lines will reside on a double-circuit monopole (typical height, 80 feet).
