The Longshore Switch is located approximately 4.5 miles west of the City of Forsan in Howard County. The Drill Hole Switch is located 6 miles west of US 285 near the Culberson County/Reeves County Line. The proposed transmission line project will be approximately 160 miles depending on the route if approved by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUCT”). The Proposed Transmission Line Project is currently planned for completion in 2029.
Voltage and Structure Type – The project includes a new 765 kV transmission line constructed on self-supporting, steel lattice towers.
