Northeast OklahomaTransmission Enhancement Project

AEP Oklahoma Transmission Company, Inc. (OK Transco) representatives plan to expand the electric transmission system in northeast Oklahoma as part of a regional reliability effort. Construction begins in summer 2028 and concludes in late 2029.

AEP is closely monitoring the forecast and the potential for winter weather in the coming days. Should conditions become severe enough to affect the safety of the public or staff traveling to the scheduled meetings, any updates or cancellations will be posted here on the project website. Please check periodically for the latest information.

All four open houses offer the same information, so landowners may choose one to attend.

At an open house, you can view detailed maps and talk with team members about the preliminary route links. We encourage attendees to bring their comment form and provide comments to the team after reviewing the maps. AEP staff will have blank comment forms on hand at each open house in case attendees need one. There is no formal presentation, so attendees can arrive at any time during the event.
