TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

TRANSMISSION POWER LINES ENERGIZE TEXAS

To support the Lone Star State's dynamic growth, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) and the state's utilities continually review transmission capacity to ensure people across the state have the power they need. Oncor is committed to building additional transmission facilities to support future growth in the most efficient and cost-effective manner.

Electric power plants are connected to substations through a network of high voltage lines built and maintained by Oncor.

HOW TRANSMISSION POWER LINE PROJECTS WORK

As Texas continues to prosper, the state is a beacon for new residents and new businesses. Oncor is proud to foster healthy growth by ensuring people have the energy they need through new transmission line projects. We work closely with state agencies when expanding our transmission network. The process includes many steps. Along with determining need, we consider routes, involve communities and landowners, and obtain approvals—all before beginning construction.

As Texas continues to prosper, Oncor meets the state�s growing energy demands through new transmission line projects.
Determining right-of-way and working cooperatively with landowners is a big part of Oncor�s transmission line process.

TRANSMISSION LINE PROCESS

A dedicated group—including Oncor, ERCOT, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), and state utilities—keep a pulse on our state's growing energy needs. It is a joint monitoring effort that constantly examines demand and supply, then follows a step-by-step expansion process that involves conducting engineering, routing and environmental assessments, evaluating connection requirements, securing certifications, determining right-of-way, and working cooperatively with landowners.

PROJECTS UNDERWAY

Meeting the energy needs of millions of Texans is Oncor's mission. Today, we are proud to honor our promise with a wide range of projects designed to upgrade and expand our state-of-the-art transmission system. See a complete list of all the projects underway to support energy demands of the communities we serve and champion the growth and prosperity that makes Texas a preferred place to live and work.

Oncor currently has a wide range of projects underway to upgrade and expand our state-of-the-art transmission system.
