The Eagle Mountain Planning Commission is scheduled to consider a proposed transmission line item at its meeting on Oct. 27, 2026, according to the published agenda. The agenda item concerns a transmission line planned to run from Spanish Fork to the Mercer Substation to help power data center development in the city.
