The Western Area Power Administration’s (Western) Central Valley Project (CVP) transmission system forms an integral part of the interconnected Sacramento area transmission grid. Regional growth has led to increased demand for electric power in the Sacramento area. Power system studies conducted by Sacramento power agencies, organizations, and utilities have indicated that reliability of the power system could be at risk due to voltage instability. This Sacramento Area Voltage Support (SVS) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), prepared pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) presents Western’s analysis of the environmental effects from the voltage support system additions and improvements identified for the Proposed Action and alternatives.
Due to heightened security, the Draft SVS EIS will not be available on this website. Only the Executive Summary (without figures/tables) will be posted.
