As part of the effort to plan for additional customers and increased power consumption, Rocky Mountain Power is upgrading and rebuilding existing power lines throughout Summit County. Rocky Mountain Power and its parent company, PacifiCorp., will be upgrading various power lines to handle 138,000 volts of electricity instead of the current 46,000 volts. Existing power poles will be replaced and may look different, according to Rocky Mountain Power spokesman Jeff Hymas, but will not resemble main grid transmission lines. Power lines around Park City will be upgraded as well as those that run from Evanston, Wyoming to the Snyderville Basin and the line from Kamas to Oakley. The Park City substation will be upgraded and the substation in Coalville is slated to be completely rebuilt, according to Hymas.
