TRTP Undergrounding

Southern California Edison's project to underground the Tehachapi Renewable Transmission began in September of 2013 and is essentially complete. Multiple contractors constructed the project in order to reduce the impact on Chino Hills residents. The TRTP line was energized in the fourth quarter of 2016.
