Alice - FalfurriasTransmission Improvements Project
AEP Texas representatives plan to rebuild the remaining 2 miles of a power line near Alice. Crews rebuilt 35 miles of the power line in 2019. Replacing the remaining wooden poles from 1928 with modern steel poles helps improve the lines operational performance and area reliability.
