{{Short description|Electrical transmission line}}
'''Path 62''' or the '''Eldorado - McCullough 500 [[volt|kV]] Line''' is a short {{convert|0.6|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} 500 kV [[electric power transmission|power line]] linking [[Los Angeles Department of Water and Power]]'s (LADWP's) McCullough [[Electrical substation|substation]] to [[Southern California Edison]]'s (SCE's) Eldorado substation in the Eldorado - Marketplace - McCullough substation complex just south of Boulder City, Nevada. Path 62 is part of The [[Western Electricity Coordinating Council]]'s links of electrical [[WECC Intertie Paths|intertie paths]] in the western United States. Like [[Path 61]], this short, yet important 500 kV line allows for power flow to be rerouted on different 500 kV lines that make up the massive [[Path 46]] transmission system when necessary.<ref name="WECC"/> Power generated from [[Hoover Dam]], and fossil fuel power plants in the [[Four Corners]] region is routed to this substation complex via many other 500 kV lines that connect to this substation complex.<ref name="WECC">{{Citation|title=Paths 61-70|publisher=Western Electricity Coordinating Council|year=2006}}</ref><ref name="GEImage">Route descriptions and tower designs are based on Google Earth images.</ref>
