New Transmission Line Coming to Maumelle

Entergy Arkansas, Inc., has constructed a new transmission line to help improve electric service reliability to Entergy customers in the Maumelle/Morgan area. Construction is almost completed and should be in operation around December 1. The new 115 KV line extends approximately two miles from the Maumelle East substation to tie in with the Mayflower/North Little Rock Levy transmission line situated along the north edge of the city of Maumelle.r Demand in the Maumelle area has grown at an average annual rate of 6 percent since 1997. This growth has been not only in the residential and small commercial sectors, but has included a near doubling of large commercial and industrial load. An equipment failure at the Maumelle East substation caused approximately 11,000 customers to be without power
