Diana - Lone Star SouthTransmission Improvements Project

Southwestern Electric Power (SWEPCO) representatives plan to strengthen the local electric transmission system in northeast Texas by rebuilding about 13 miles of a 138-kilovolt (kV) transmission line between the Diana and Lone Star South substations.

The Diana - Lone Star South was constructed nearly 70 years ago and is past its planned service life. The project:

Replaces deteriorating wooden poles with modern steel poles
Upgrades the wires on poles that were previously replaced
Strengthens the system against severe weather impacts
Decreases the likelihood and duration of wide, community-sustained outages

Timeline

Structures

SWEPCO crews plan to install steel single-pole structures.

Typical Pole Height: Approximately 90 feet*
Typical Right-of-Way Width: Approximately 100 feet*
Typical Distance Between Structures: Approximately 650 feet*

*Exact structure types, height and right-of-way requirements may vary
