ISO New England, along with Northeast Utilities, is proposing upgrades to area utility lines and the Card Street Substation. This is part of a large project that will improve the reliability of electricity delivery and hopefully prevent another blackout like the one that shut down New York City and parts of Connecticut several years ago.
Part of the proposal is to upgrade the lines north and west of the substation to 345-kV high-voltage transmission lines. This project is also going to affect the towns of "Brooklyn, Hampton and Pomfret; Chaplin, Columbia, Coventry, Lebanon and Windham (a "close proximity" town); Mansfield; and Killingly, Putnam and Thompson" according to the Northeast Utility site.
