NOTICE OF PROPOSED MAJOR UTILITY FACILITY
The Dayton Power and Light Company d/b/a AES Ohio is proposing the Erie Substation and 138 kV Extension Project (the "Project") located in German Township, in Auglaize County, Ohio.
The Dayton Power and Light Company d/b/a AES Ohio is proposing certain upgrades to the local power grid, known as the Erie Substation and 138kV Extension Project (the "Project"). The proposed Project is part of area-wide transmission improvements to improve service and reliability in the northern portion of our service territory.
The proposed Project involves the construction of the new approximately 4.8-acre Erie Substation on a parcel adjacent to the existing Amsterdam Substation on Amsterdam Road. The proposed Project includes extending the new 13840 Amsterdam-West Moulton 138kV line and the existing 13853 Franklin-Amsterdam138 kV line to tie into the new Erie Substation. The new substation will include two new 138/69kV transformers and four new 138 kV circuit breakers.
In 2022, AES Ohio submitted a project to expand the existing Amsterdam Substation (the Amsterdam Substation Expansion Project, Case Number 22-0834-EL-BLN approved on March 2, 2023), however, it was determined that the initial configuration proposed in the Amsterdam Substation Expansion Project did not anticipate the extended outages that would have been necessary to complete substation construction. The new Erie Substation significantly reduces outage durations and will replace the existing Amsterdam Substation.
This improvement will provide operational flexibility, increased reliability, and capacity to reinforce the transmission system in the North portion of our service territory.
The following officials have been served with copies of the application:
• Mr. David Bambauer, Auglaize County Commissioner
• Mr. Doug Spencer, Auglaize County Commissioner
• Mr. John Bergman, Auglaize County Commissioner
• Mr. Andrew Baumer, P.E., P.S., Auglaize County Engineer
• Mr. Dave Albers, German Township Trustee
• Mr. Robert Heitkamp, German Township Trustee
• Mr. Keith Quellhorst, German Township Trustee
• Ms. Karen Balster, German Township Fiscal Officer
On July 10, 2025, AES Ohio submitted an application to the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) under Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) Case Number 25-0662-EL-BLN to construct, operate and maintain the facility. In accordance with Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) Rule 4906-1-01 Appendix A, this Project falls within the OPSB's requirements for a Letter of Notification (LON) application, which is now pending before the board.
An electronic copy of the LON application can be found on the website, https://dis.puc.state.oh.us/, by inputting 25-0662 into the Case Lookup Space. In addition, you can view the Project website by visiting https://www.aes-ohio.com/erie-substation-and-138-kv-extension-project, which provides the public information about the Project and how to request a copy of the application.
A notice of the availability of the LON application has also been provided to the New Bremen Branch of the Auglaize County Libraries located at 45 S. Washington Street, New Bremen, Ohio 45869 for public access.
A hard copy of the application is available at the offices of the OPSB, c/o Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, Utilities Department, 12th Floor, 180 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215-3793.
