Path 61 or the Lugo - Victorville 500 kV Line is a relatively short AC 500 kV power line that runs from Southern California Edison's (SCE) Lugo substation southwest of Hesperia to Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's (LADW&P) Victorville substation north of Victorville, California.
[1] Half of the length of the 500 kV power line is owned by SCE to the south and LADW&P to the north.
[2] Starting from the SCE Lugo substation, where many other Southern California Edison power transmission lines interconnect, the Path 61 500 kV power line heads north-northeast along with other lower voltage 220 kV and 230 kV power lines for a short distance before turning northwest, traveling though the southwestern portion of Hesperia and spanning over Interstate 15 about 2 miles north of the interchange with Main Street.
[1][2] Victorville is also near the Adelanto Converter Station where the Intermountain DC link comes in from Utah.
In reverse (Lugo to Victorville), the power line could only transmit 900 MW.
