Project overview

PSE built a new 115 kV transmission line between the existing Lake Hills and Phantom Lake substations. This critical upgrade, completed in 2021, was required to increase electric service reliability for more than 12,000 Bellevue residential and commercial customers in the Crossroads, Robinswood, Lake Hills, Eastgate, College Hills and Phantom Lake neighborhoods.

Additionally, we "looped" Lake Hills Substation, meaning it is now connected to two transmission lines instead of one. If one line loses power, the other line will still feed the substation and provide uninterrupted power to customers. By adding another transmission pathway to the electric system, we can continue to supply our Bellevue customers with dependable power for years to come.
