Wabash Valley Power Alliance is hosting an open house for an 18-mile transmission line project connecting the Elderberry Substation near New Carlisle to the Stillwell Substation near Fish Lake, Indiana. The project is in early stages and is not associated with other local developments like the Amazon data center or Samsung/GM battery plant.

The transmission line aims to enhance service for members and rural communities in northern Indiana and Illinois. The project will be funded by Wabash Valley Power Alliance, ensuring no cost to taxpayers or increase in power bills.

Planners are currently assessing potential routes and easements to minimize landowner impact. Another open house is scheduled for March, with construction anticipated to start in 2027.
