SCRANTON, Pa. (AP) — An electrical utility has bought 240 acres of land in northeastern Pennsylvania for a substation in hopes of improving power delivery to the region.
The Times-Tribune in Scranton reports (http://bit.ly/2coCnvI ) PPL Electric Utilities bought largely overgrown, wooded property and plans to build a new, 1.3-mile, 230-kilovolt line between the substation and new transmission lines.
Records show the utility paid $900,000 for the land. The newspaper says the project is expected to cost more than $12 million.
