Stop the Power Line Threat to Central Oregon – Speak Out by May 9

PacifiCorp, the parent company of Pacific Power is planning a massive high-voltage transmission line from Klamath to Prineville to power Facebook and Apple data centers. One proposed paths, Alternatives A and B, would cut directly through Dobbin Acres, Sundance, and other quiet rural neighborhoods known for their natural beauty, open space, and wildlife.

If selected, these routes would:

• Run power lines through private properties
• Disrupt wildlife corridors
• Increase wildfire risk
• Permanently change the character of the area

Why It Matters to All of Central Oregon:

This isn’t just about a few neighborhoods. It affects communities from Bend to Redmond and Prineville. Once it’s built, the damage can’t be undone.

The Fire Risk Is Real

Above-ground power lines in dry, windy areas are a major wildfire hazard. Lines can fall, arc, or spark from vegetation contact — all of which can ignite fast-moving fires in the high desert.

There Are No Good Options — But Alternatives A and B are the Worst

The current proposal offers no ideal path, but Alternatives A and B would do the most harm to people and the environment. It’s up to us to stop it.

Take Action Before May 9

Submit a public comment urging officials to reject Alternatives A and B and choose a safer, smarter route. Tell neighbors, friends, and local groups. Public pressure only works if we show up in numbers.
