Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) officials plan to improve electric reliability in Northeast Texas by relocating and rebuilding about 2 miles of existing 138-kilovolt (kV) transmission line in Upshur County.
The transmission line is nearly 60 years old and is past its planned service life.
The Project:
AEP Texas officials plan to file a Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) following a review of public input on route link development and additional route analysis. Project representatives expect to file a CCN application by the end of fall 2026. The final line route is determined by the PUCT.
March 2026: SWEPCO representatives invite you to attend an in-person open house on Tuesday, April 7, 2026 from 5-7 p.m. at Maude Cobb Convention Center (Longview Convention Complex), 100 Grand Blvd. Longview, TX 75604.
