Some projects I've noticed I've documented below. Frederica-Magnolia Line Replacement Delmarva Power is replacing the 25kV long hual feeder line between Frederica and Magnolia in Kent County, Delaware. The line work is being done along DE 1 and Clapham

I've found an entire PDF file on transmission projects that have been identified by the Alberta Electric System Operator. High River-Black Diamond Line Replacement Altalink has replaced the 69kV 158L transmission line between the High River and Black

Other than photos I've already taken of brakestompers in Alberta, I thought I'd share some I've found when messing around on google maps. Strange 144kV structure at ATCO Electric's Oyen 767S Substation

Looks as if BC Hydro is experimenting with different variations of tower designs on this new 500kV line www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVvWiNhCJFU

I totally forgot seeing this line long ago before I took pictures of them. It's one of the last City of Lethbridge double verticle lines on their grid which featured those strange polymer insulators!

I'm pleased to be attending again this year at the fire department in Shrewsbury, PA for the 2016 insulator show. This year I'm dedicated to getting my hands on a stacker and a few other pieces that I didn't get last year.

Here's some places I hope to get to next week: Remaining BG&E 4.16kV Substation www.google.com/maps/@39.2314211,-76.5890 1,3a,75y,317.25h,92.08t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m 4!1sgaEqpnHclRY8Cr8MQ03hjA!2e0!7i13312!8 i6656 BG&E Brooklyn Park Substation

After an email to a local collector, I purchased a CD 248/311/311 clear stacker in mint condition for pickup at the Shrewsbury show. I've wanted one for years now. Here's some photos of them in service: www.ipernity.com/doc/286325/18845559

Tomorrow is the show, finally! I hate to disapoint everyone, but I will not be getting to that 4kV sub in Baltimore since there was a shooting there recently and I'm going to avoid the area for my own safety for now. I hope you all understand. All other

I don't have many trip plans this year, however I will be most likely staying local. Here's a list of things I hope to do: - Cover more of PEPCO's territory - Visit multiple BG&E facilities - Visit multiple Delmarva Power and Co-op facilities - Cover

Here's a video I found when poking around that happened in Harford County, MD in 1988. It appears a bucket truck struck a 33kV BG&E circuit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvNA2kawKVE

I decided to take a drive since I took today off and I decided to travel back north to Conowingo Power (now Delmarva Power) territory. I passed their Town Point substation which was rebuilt in 2010 and similar to this one:

Has anyone ever seen an REA 69kV downgraded to 12.5kV line before? www.google.com/maps/@38.3681134,-75.1886 142,3a,30y,177.44h,99.44t/data=!3m6!1e1! 3m4!1s7OXODrCwNEbDwUdegfJyjA!2e0!7i13312 !8i6656

Thanks to David Dahle I now have confirmed that the rumored Hobbs - Williston 34.5kV line actually runs at 25kV. The Hobbs Substation (http://www.ipernity.com/doc/286325/3388 1011) is fed by a Delmarva Power 25kV circuit and there are no transformers

Last night we had a hail storm with 50-60 mph winds. It cost me over $300 in damage at my house. 17,575 Delmarva Power and 508 Choptank Electric Cooperative customers lost power. Here's damage to a pole near my house: www.ipernity.com/doc/286325/41510738

I called 811 recently to have my underground utilities marked since I'm installing an underground propane tank. When I got home, I noticed that the flags used said "Choptank Electric Cooperative" on them even though I'm served by Delmarva Power. I guess

Its hard to believe that three years ago on the 12th that this line bit the dust www.ipernity.com/doc/286325/20099207/in/ album/600683

I'm 100% going to West Virginia tomorrow! Last weekend wasn't good because we had west snow and rain, and I was out buying a new zero turn lawn mower after mine broke down. This Saturday they are calling for 68 on the eastern shore with sun and 70 in the

Even though it isn't confirmed, but proposed, Me and a family member are trying to make plans to take a trip to Kansas City, MO to visit some relatives. The trip would involve driving through MD, PA, WV, OH, IN, IL, and MO. Hopefully I'll run into some

Well as most people know, there is always that one utility that will yukk out a majority of there system even if it isn't that old. Some examples would be PEPCO, PSE&G, ENMAX, Delmarva Power, etc... It's been almost two years since I've been to

As many have heard, a giant forest fire has whiped out the 80,000 pop city Fort McMurray in northern Alberta. After looking at maps of the fire, I've noticed that multiple ATCO Electric facilities have been destroyed. Miles of 25kV circuit have been

I haven't been on recently mainly because I haven't been able to go get any new photos as a rainy weather pattern has been hitting the mid-atlantic region for the past month. My brother had to take a business trip and he's going to be in Cleveland,

A new natural gas 309MW generating station has opened just East of the Dover International Speedway. That answer my question from last year as to where this line goes www.ipernity.com/doc/286325/38804544

I've finally decicded to do it! It will either be toward the end of June or sometime during July. I will drive to Lewes, DE and take the ferry to Cape May, NJ. From there I will travel to Ocean City, NJ. On the way back I'll stop in Salem and Vineland

Is anyone else having the same problems? It doesn't affect me at all, it only affects the hobby. The Delmarva Peninsula that I once loved a decade ago for its old ESPSCo. construction and being rural is no more. Delmarva Power and Choptank Electric, and

I know this is late, but I just realized that exactly three years ago on the 8th I was in Medicine Hat taking photos. Check back on that album if you want to see them. Wow time flies!

Today I went up to Elkton, MD and came back with a Conowingo Power Co. pole tag. Something that was interesting is that there was also a tag that said "N.M.P.Co." (Northern Maryland Power Co.?). I didn't get many photos because while I was up there my

Today I got the opportunity to talk with the manager of the Easton Utilities Electric Department and I found out some things I had never known about the utility before. It turns out that since 1999 that the city has an underground 25kV loop system which

Next monday I'm taking a drive up to Bridgeport, CT with a friend who has work there. On the way I'll be going through NJ and NY. Hopefully will get some nice photos!

Here's some places I've scoped out on taking photos on my trip to Kelowna. Four BC Hydro 69kV circuits:

After reading an article from FortisBC, I noticed that it sated they use 63kV, 161kV, and 230kV for transmission. I've heard of all of these voltages except for 63kV. Has anyone else ever heard of this voltage?

As of now any album that isn't in a folder has been updated. Remaining albums remains in folders. I've corrected many titles, tags, and descriptions. I also deleted bad photos as well as duplicates.

Delmarva Power has yukked and replaced 90% of the Chestertown system. The remaining 10% of the system already has replacement poles on site. All photos will be added to the graveyard.

This line that ran between Peigan and ENMAX Substation 65 www.ipernity.com/doc/286325/20679779/in/ album/600683 has been downgraded to 138kV after a new double circuit 240kV line and substation was constructed east of the old line. The new line carries a

In this video Fortis Alberta installs a new 25kV spacer line that has spec similar to Eversource Energy www.youtube.com/watch

Has anyone else discovered the "Docs" tab on here? I've seen it, but haven't tried it until now. I uploaded a kmz file of ENMAX's entire transmission system if anyone is interested www.ipernity.com/doc/286325/42675350

I'm considering to start a series of albums of photos from streetview from utilities I will most likely never be able to visit in person. I'm going to start with Edmonton Power Corporation (EPCOR). I will post photos of EPCOR's general specs, old specs,

So far I am happy with the places I've gone this year. So far I've been to Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut and have gotten hundreds of photos of Met-Ed, PECO, BG&E, Delmarva Power, Delaware Electric Co-op, Choptank

I leave BWI at 7AM tomorrow with a layover in Dallas. I will arrive in Calgary at 8PM. I am really excited to see how much Alberta and British Columbia have changed in 2 years since the last time I was there.

I'm leaving on Tuesday to fly back to Baltimore and while I was staying im Fernie, BC last night, I just had to attempt to capture the mountain landscape with the river flowing on the bottom of the picture. While I was standing at the edge of the river

While mapping out BC Hydro's 500kV system. I noticed that there was a section of 500kV line that was re-routed around Prince George and the old 500kV line was downgraded to 69kV!!

BC Hydro has some interesting voltages. They use: 69kV 138kV 230kV 287kV 360kV 500kV Here's a map of their system www.bchydro.com/content/dam/BCHydro/cust omer-portal/documents/corporate/supplier s/transmission-system/maps/bch-transmiss ion-map.pdf

Just renewed my club membership and I'm still trying to figure out my camera odeal. I will upload more soon

Not giving much info, but early to mid next year I'm planning to visit every single substation owned by ENMAX. A list is provided of each substation and the current status. ENMAX Substation No. 1 (Not yet photographed) ENMAX Substation No. 2

Alright tomorrow is the day ya'll been waiting for! I'm visiting multiple BG&E 33kV subs, including that 4kV sub in the Brooklyn side of Baltimore. I'm also going to tour into PEPCO territory and photograph a similar brick building sub.

Hello all, I've been busy for the last month or so and I'm planning to stay offline for awhile until I can figure out what to do with a whole ton of videos I've taken over the last year on some of my trips. Its taking up a lot of space on my computer and
