Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) representatives plan to improve the electric
transmission system in Midtown Tulsa. Crews plan to begin construction in early 2027 and conclude in
spring 2028. The project involves rebuilding approximately 8.5 miles of 138-kilovolt transmission line in
Midtown Tulsa. PSO representatives plan to rebuild about 1 mile of power line in early 2027 and the
remaining 7.5 miles between summer 2027 and spring 2028.
Fall 2024: Survey crews from Surveying and Mapping, LLC (SAM), are conducting boundary survey activities along the line route. Some of these activities may include placing stakes and ribbon on properties. Later this year, crews plan to conduct survey activities geared toward locating buried utilities along the power line route. Crews also plan to conduct engineering surveys using equipment to collect soil samples at select locations along the power line route. This work is necessary to inform engineering design plans.
PSO representatives plan to host an in-person open house in early 2025 for affected members of the public to learn more about the project from project team members. More details on the open house will come in the future.
PSO representatives plan to use steel single poles on this project.
