Lawton - Southwestern Power StationTransmission Line Rebuild Project

Public Service Company of Oklahoma (PSO) representatives plan to improve the electric transmission system in Comanche and Caddo counties.

The Lawton - Southwestern Power Station Transmission Line Rebuild Project involves rebuilding about 36 miles of 138-kilovolt transmission line to increase electric reliability and strengthen the local power grid.

Project Updates

Summer 2025: PSO representatives plan for pre-construction activities to start in early fall along the right-of-way. This work may include:

  • Placing stakes and ribbon within the company's easement on your property
  • Installing temporary gates, fencing and access roads
  • Installing culverts for water management
  • Trimming or removing trees and other woody-stemmed vegetation, as appropriate, within the transmission line right-of-way

PSO representatives plan to start transmission line construction immediately following these activities and conclude in early 2026.
