• Crews are replacing overhead conductor through the Mt. Shasta downtown area, largely with tree wire. These projects will also improve power delivery by increasing the line voltage from 4 kilovolts to 12 kilovolts.
• This requires the replacement of most distribution transformers. These steps will result in additional capacity for the area and increased reliability, benefitting customers.
• The project will include the replacement of power poles, most of which are located within public rights of way (city and county roads and public utility easements).
• Crews have completed 2.7 miles of conductor and pole replacement in 2025 with the remaining work scheduled for early 2026.

• Crews have replaced 6.9 miles of bare conductor with tree wire on the north side of Mt. Shasta.
• This requires replacement of existing transmission structures underneath existing transmission wires.

• Crews have replaced 5 miles of bare conductor with tree wire on the north side of Mt. Shasta.
• This requires replacement of existing transmission structures underneath existing transmission wires.
• The remaining work is scheduled for early 2026.

• Replacement of about four miles of overhead conductor with about six miles of underground conductor in and around the Mt. Shasta Ski Resort.
• The existing pole line and right of way through the U.S. Forest Service lands will be removed and remediated, per U.S. Forest Service specifications.
• The new route will be along existing roads on both U.S. Forest Service lands and private lands. 

Crews have completed work on 1.4 miles of the 8.8 miles of the project to replace overhead conductor with covered tree wire and install a segment of underground line. This project includes replacing 60 wooden distribution poles and 62 wooden transmission poles with steel poles. Construction will continue in 2026 on the remaining portion of the project. 

Crews have completed work on 4.8 miles of the 15 miles of the project to replace overhead conductor with covered tree wire. Improvements also include replacing 218 wooden distribution poles and 137 wooden transmission poles with steel poles. Construction will continue in 2026 on the remaining portion of the project.

Crews will replace 2 miles of overhead conductor with covered tree wire, which will include replacing 41 distribution and 15 wooden transmission poles with steel poles. Construction is planned for 2026-2027.
