Electric DepartmentSuperintendent: Brian Denney 1010 Eaglecrest Phone: 417-725-2353 The City Electric Department is staffed with 14 full time employees that fill such positions as Superintendent, Lead Linemen, Linemen, Apprentice, Groundsmen and tree trimmers. This highly professional staff maintains all aspects of the distribution of electricity for the city including operations and maintenance functions. They also maintain above and below ground lines as well as construct new lines for further expansion. The distribution system is supplied from the Southwest Power Administration through a single 69 kV transmission line. Currently, plans are underway to add a second, separate feeder line which will add reliability to the system and supply necessary power for load increases as community growth continues. Feed power voltages are reduced through three substations and provide to residential and commercial transformers at 7200 volts. In addition to plans for a second feeder, the City is planning the construction of a 69,000 volt transmission loop around the City to increase reliability and supply primary feed to the new substations as required. This overall project is planned over a 10+ year period when load growth is expected to almost double that of today. City of Nixa Electric Ordinance (rates on last page) |
