White River Electric Assn. Inc. of Meeker, Colorado recently completed a large 345kV Transmission line and Substations project.  This project was completed in less than 2 years from inception to energization.  Great Southwestern (GSW) of Castle Rock, Colorado was the successful bidder on both the line and substation.  GSW mobilized, constructed, energized and reclaimed on  time while losing almost 6 weeks of construction time due to one of the wettest springs in recent Colorado history.  This $40 million project went through some very rough and challenging terrain.  The success of this project to deliver load at the project date was because GSW was able to accomplish the construction activities in a timely and professional manner.  I would highly recommend consideration of GSW for future projects.

Today we energized the transmission line, the 230kV portion of the substation, and the Main Power Transfomer at Smoky Hills II (Wind Farm).  I wanted to congratulate you and your company on a successful energization, and thank you for your continued commitment to completing quality projects.  Your substation crew, transmission line crew, engineers, and testers have all made this project one to be proud of.
