Jacksboro — Willow Creek — Parker 345 kV Transmission Project

Texas is continuing to increase the integration of renewable energy into the Texas electric market. Reliable electric facilities must be in place to support the increased levels of renewable energy and to provide efficient means for this power to reach electric consumers. As part of this on-going process, Oncor is proposing a project that consists of rebuilding an existing single circuit electric transmission line into a double circuit transmission line. The project will connect the existing Jacksboro Switching Station to the existing Parker Switching Station, located just northwest of the city of Weatherford, utilizing the existing transmission line corridor. The Willow Creek Switching Station is a connecting station in this project that is located halfway between the Jacksboro and Parker stations. This project has been recommended by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to ensure continued safe and reliable electric service to the State due to the increased integration of electric energy generated by wind production facilities. Completion of the project will provide necessary system upgrades that will improve the transmission system’s ability to efficiently move wind-generated electric power to market and will add valuable capacity to the entire transmission system.

• Voltage and Structure Type - The project is proposed to be a 345 kV transmission line constructed on Lattice Steel V Towers.
