GoodlettTransmission Line Improvements Project


The Goodlett - Transmission Line Improvements Project involves the relocation of a portion of the Childress - Quanah transmission line in the Hardeman County Area.

Years of underground activity at an active gypsum mine and natural erosion have compromised portions of the existing line and AEP Texas' Acme Bestwall Substation.

AEP Texas needs to relocate this line due to the considerable reliability and safety concerns these conditions have created.

Project Updates

AEP Texas representatives hosted a public virtual town hall in July 2021, where landowners affected by the proposed project could learn about the project and ask questions to team members.

AEP Texas officials filed a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) following a review of public input and additional route analysis.

The PUC determined a final line route on Sept. 29, 2022.
