AEP Texas representatives plan to rebuild approximately 14 miles of 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line to 138-kV capacity between the Mason Substaion and the Mason Phillips Tap Substation in Mason.
The proposed improvements decrease the likelihood and duration of wide, community-sustained outages and modernize the electric system to meet current AEP engineering, safety and operational standards.
July 2026: AEP Texas representatives plan to host an in-person open house for this project. Please join us on on Thursday, July 23, from 5-7 p.m. at the Fort Mason Park Community Building located at 1015 San Antonio Street in Mason. During the open houses, landowners can view detailed maps, talk to project team members about project plans, the PUCT regulatory approval process, the project need and benefits and the routing analysis process. There will be no formal presentation, so attendees may arrive at any time.
