SRP 69kV & 7.2kV - Gilbert, AZ

SRP 69kV & 7.2kV - Gilbert, AZ
Some older mid-1980's double-circuit composite line post poles in the background. In the foreground, you've got the steel double-circuit polymer yuk posts.

I never cared for those polymer post steel poles. Many lines of them now plague lines that once featured pre-1966 older crossarms poles with suspensions or composite line post poles.

New 69kV poles are completely steel now as of the late 1990's-early 2000's. Polymer posts have been a standard since between 1994-97.

Are there any areas of overlap between APS and SRP or are the systems pretty well separated?

There are lines in Phoenix (the actual city is mostly APS) and Gilbert where both APS and SRP run parallel (mostly on 69kV). I've seen a short double-circuit distribution line with both APS and SRP in Chandler. Their systems are mostly separate otherwise.
