CPS Energy proposes to construct an approximate five-mile 138kV transmission line extension to a new substation (Omicron) in the western part of Bexar County. The line extension will loop into the existing Cagnon to Howard Rd. 138kV transmission line.

The proposed project is needed to increase the load-serving capability of the far western portion of the CPS Energy transmission system to accommodate increasing customer load growth in the area, including new large customer loads.  

 The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) endorsed this project as a needed transmission system improvement on the CPS Energy system on July 26, 2024.
