The best part of my job is working on a variety of unique and complicated projects. These can range from large commercial projects, substations, new residential services, high and low-density residential subdivisions, and road improvements.
Tell us about the plans for a new substation in Rathdrum.
KEC is currently in the design phase of a new substation in Rathdrum near Ramsey and Boekel Roads. This substation will improve reliability for KEC members in northern Kootenai County by providing connections between KEC’s other existing substations in Rathdrum, Twin Lakes, and Athol. To connect the new substation to our electric service area, KEC will also be constructing a new transmission line, installing new underground power lines and rebuilding and upgrading our existing overhead power lines.
