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
