The latest here, there are zoning requests for 4 different sites of 4MW or 2MW (AC) each. My neighbor is in
the zoning process, looks like I might get involved too. A couple sites are just a road or 2 south of me.
They propose to feed a 12.5KV single phase line, same one my transformer is connected to. I don't believe
that line can begin to handle that power level, maybe the 33KV 3 phase circuits nearby could do it (barely).
Perhaps my biggest concern is what will happen to the neighborhood line voltage when these arrays turn
on and off. There is a MAJOR sub station very close, it runs several miles to the Byron Nuke. Seems to
me these systems need their own dedicated connections to the sub, to avoid disturbing the locals too much.
I went through that before, don't want to play again. Bruce Roe
