Xcel Energy's proposed substation is in the works, and here are the details:

• Location: The proposed substation will be situated at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of 65th Street (CSAH 37) and Jansen Avenue in Otsego. So, if you happen to be in that area, keep an eye out for it! 

• Purpose: This substation aims to serve both existing and future electric service needs in Otsego. It’s like the behind-the-scenes wizardry that keeps the lights on and gadgets humming. 

• Electric Transmission Line: There’s an existing Xcel Energy electric transmission line that runs parallel to 65th Street (CSAH 37) and crosses the southern portion of the subject property. The substation will connect to this line. Think of it as the substation’s hotline to power! 

Otsego’s getting a shiny new addition to its electric infrastructure!
