8. Liberty - Gloster 115 kV: Upgrade capacity of line

9. 2009 Indianola - Greenwood Line Upgrade Scenario: • The Indianola - Greenwood 115kV line, located in central Mississippi, is 28 miles long and is limited to a rating of 120 MVA by equipment in the Moorhead, Itta Bena, and Greenwood substations. • The loss of the several lines in the area including Pickens - Durant 115kV and Delta - Ruleville 115kV will cause the line to overload. Recommended Solution: • Replace the affected substation equipment and increase the rating of the line to 161 MVA. • Estimated Cost: $250 K

10. Indianola - Greenwood Line Upgrade

11. 2009 Horn Lake:Energize 230/161kV Autotransformer & Upgrade Horn Lake – Allen (TVA) 161kV Line Scenario: • The load in the Southaven and Senatobia areas, served by one 230 kV line and two 115 kV lines, will total approximately 406 MW in 2009. • The single contingency loss of the Freeport – Horn Lake 230kV line will cause low voltages at 9 substations. Recommended Solution: • Reconductor the Horn Lake – TH Allen (TVA) 161kV line to a rating of at least 390 MVA and energize the idle 230/161kV autotransformer at Horn Lake. • Estimated Cost: $3.5 MM

12. HornLake 230/161kV Auto & Allen Line Upgrade

13. 2011 Rankin Ind. - Airport Reconductor Scenario: • The Rankin Ind. - Airport 115kV line, located in near Jackson Mississippi, is 5.5 miles long and is limited to a rating of 161 MVA. • The loss of the 230/115kV autotransformer at Rankin will cause the line to overload. Recommended Solution: • Re-conductor the Rankin Ind. - Airport 115kV line and increase the rating of the line to 231 MVA. • Estimated Cost: $3 MM

14. Rankin Ind. - Airport Reconductor

15. 2012 Ridgeland-Madison Reliability Improvement Scenario: • The Lakeover -NE Jackson - Rex Brown 115 kV line is 25 miles long and will serve 6 substations totaling 194 MW in 2009. • The loss of the Rex Brown - Hico, Hico - N. Jackson or N. Jackson - Canton Rd 115 kV lines in 2008 causes overloads on the Lakeover - Livingston Rd 115 kV line. The loss of the Lakeover - Livingston Rd or Livingston Rd - Ridgeland 115kV lines causes the Rex Brown - Hico - N. Jackson 115kV lines to overload. Recommended Solution: • Build a 115kV substation in the existing Northpark 230kV substation and cut in the Lakeover-NE Jackson line at Northpark (between Ridgeland and Country Club). Double-Circuit the existing Lakeover–Livingston–Ridgeland 115 kV line, upgrading the existing line to at least 231 MVA, and connect the new circuit to the new 115kV bus at the Northpark substation. This new circuit will be used for the feed to the new Sunnybrook substation. • Estimated Cost: $13 MM

17. 2011 Ray Braswell – Byram 115 kV LineConstruction Scenario: • The SW Jackson to Byram to Brookhaven line is 53 miles long and serves 162 MW of load. • The loss of the SW Jackson to Elton or Elton to Byram 115 kV lines will cause overloads on three line sections from Brookhaven to Hazlehurst 115 kV and undervoltages on various buses in 2008. • In addition, the loss of Brookhaven - Wesson or Wesson - James Rd. will cause overloads on two line sections from SW Jackson to Byram. Recommended Solution: • Build a new 115 kV line from Ray Braswell to Byram 115 kV substation with a rating of at least 261 MVA. • Estimated Cost: $23 MM

The Indianola - Yazoo City line is 51 miles long and will serve 35 MW. When either end of the N.Vicksburg - Rolling Fork - Greenville line is open, the buses along the line have low voltages, and when the North end of the Indianola - Yazoo City line is open, Inverness, Isola, and Belzoni substation have low voltages. Recommended Solution: • Install breakers at Hollandale and near the Belzoni SS / Midnight substation to close the normally open section between Belzoni SS and Murphy. Install a 21.4 MVAR capacitor bank at the Rolling Fork Substation. • Estimated Cost: $4 MM
