Segment G - Sigurd to Red Butte
Project Overview
Our company is committed to providing safe and reliable electricity to customers. To help fulfill this commitment, the company has proposed a new high-voltage transmission line stretching approximately 160 miles from the Sigurd substation to the Red Butte substation in southwest Utah.
The Sigurd to Red Butte line segment is a critical piece of PacifiCorp’s Energy Gateway transmission expansion project,. Completion of this project will help meet the increasing needs of customers throughout the region. During the development of this project, the company will fulfill all necessary permitting and siting requirements and work to minimize impacts to the community and local environment in project development, construction and maintenance.

Additional Information About the Project
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is currently developing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the company's right of way application for this project – a process that began in December 2008. The BLM had Public Scoping for the project from January 5 through March 5, 2010. Input on the project has been provided by various interested parties and will be considered as the BLM develops the draft EIS that is anticipated to be ready for publication about January 2011. Once the draft EIS is published, the BLM will have a public comment period for at least 45 days. For more details on this process, visit the BLM Web site.
Newsletters will be sent periodically to landowners and other interested parties. Additional information about this transmission project will be posted on this Web site as the project progresses and details are developed, including the latest Sigurd to Red Butte fact sheet (PDF), newsletter (PDF) and map (PDF). Please check back throughout the timeframe of the project for updates.
Public Participation
Project materials and newsletters have been sent to more than 3,700 landowners and other interested parties.
Public input is an important part of this transmission line development process and is welcomed at all stages. Our company held informational meetings about the project during February 2010 in St. George, Enterprise, Cedar City, Milford and Richfield. The BLM also hosted Public Scoping meetings in St. George, Enterprise, Milford and Richfield.
