Lincoln County Commissioner Robert King says it is working to get the Gateway West Transmission Line to move south of Cokeville. Rocky Mountain Power and Idaho Power has proposed this project which will build 1,000 miles of new high-voltage transmission lines between the Windstar substation near Glenrock, Wyoming and the Hemingway substation near Melba, Idaho. The current plan is to have it pass through north of Cokeville and King says that will create some problems. “That will totally encircle Cokeville with power lines,” King said. He says up until a couple of years ago, these types of lines required 1,500 feet of space between them. Now that has been updated to 250 feet. So, he says he proposed to Wyoming Rocky Mountain Vice President Sharon Fain to move it to the line that already exists to the south of the town.
