WH Electric Substation Proposed Location
19835 Larkin Road

Wright-Hennepin Cooperative Electric Association (WH) is applying for Administrative Approvals from the City of Corcoran to build an electric substation called “Shamrock Substation” located at address 19835 Larkin Road, which constitutes an Essential Services as referenced by Section 1030.090. Great River Energy (GRE), WH’s wholesale electric transmission supplier, owns the existing 69-kV transmission line along the proposed Shamrock Substation’s south and west property lines and will provide the 69-kV power source. The substation design will have provisions to “double-end” in the future which will allow WH to double its load capacity and network distribution feeder capabilities if future residential and commercial load continues to grow in the area. Two new tap poles will be installed along GRE’s existing transmission line on the south side of the property to feed the substation as part of the overall design. Great River Energy has existing easement rights to install the tap poles and perform any necessary right of way clearing.
(PID 25-119-23-32-0001) (City file 20-048)

Wright-Hennepin Electric withdrew the application from further consideration prior to the April 22, 2021 City Council meeting as they explore alternative locations.
