The Goodlett - Transmission Line Improvements Project involves the relocation of a portion of the Childress - Quanah transmission line in the Hardeman County Area.
Years of underground activity at an active gypsum mine and natural erosion have compromised portions of the existing line and AEP Texas' Acme Bestwall Substation.
AEP Texas needs to relocate this line due to the considerable reliability and safety concerns these conditions have created.
AEP Texas representatives hosted a public virtual town hall in July 2021, where landowners affected by the proposed project could learn about the project and ask questions to team members.
AEP Texas officials filed a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) following a review of public input and additional route analysis.
The PUC determined a final line route on Sept. 29, 2022.
AEP Texas plans to use single concrete poles for most of the proposed line, with single steel poles necessary at select locations.
Typical Distance Between Structures: 300-600 feet
Typical Structure Height: 70-110 feet
Typical Right-of-Way Width: 100 feet
* Exact structure, height and right-of-way may vary
AEP Texas serves more than 900,000 electric consumers in the deregulated Texas marketplace.
