Vision Station Project

Representatives of AEP Oklahoma Transmission Company, Inc. (OK Transco) and its affiliate Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) plan to enhance transmission reliability in southwestern Oklahoma. The Vision Station Project involves building the new 345-kilovolt (kV) Vision Substation in west Stephens County to integrate a new generator into AEP's transmission system. The project enhances area transmission reliability and supports regional energy diversification.

Crews plan to begin construction in summer 2026 and conclude by fall 2027.

On Jan. 5, 2026, OK Transco representatives filed an application for a Certificate of Authority (COA) with the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) (Case No. PUD 2026-000001) to build the Vision Substation and associated equipment to connect into PSO's existing Lawton Eastside - Terry Road 345-kV transmission line.

Early 2026: OK Transco representatives will host an in-person open house on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026 at Empire Public School Cafeteria (276803 East 1760 Rd., Duncan, OK, 73533) from 5-7 p.m. Attendees will be able to meet with project team members to learn more about the project and ask whatever questions they may have about the substation project. There is no formal presentation so attendees may arrive at any time during the event.

Anyone unable to attend the in-person open house is invited to view the virtual open house, which is available on the right-hand side of this website ("Virtual Open House" button). There you can access project information, view digital versions of the boards shown at the open house and submit comments.
