CPS Energy and AEP Texas propose to add a second circuit to the existing Pawnee to Tango 345kV transmission line in Karnes and Bee Counties. In order to add the second circuit, CPS Energy and AEP Texas propose to rebuild approximately 12 miles of existing transmission line infrastructure between the Pawnee Station in Karnes County and the AEP Texas Tango Station in Bee County.
The reconstruction of the transmission line is necessary to support the accelerating growth in San Antonio and South Texas. It will also increase the reliability of Texas’ electric grid by adding another path for electric transmission. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) Board of Directors endorsed the project as critical to the reliability of the ERCOT System on July 26, 2024.
