AEP Texas representatives plan to invest about $63 million to rebuild an 29-mile 138-kilovolt electric transmission line in Eagle Pass. Plans involve replacing deteriorating wooden poles from the 1950s with modern steel poles. The existing transmission line has experienced several outages since 2015 and these improvements enhance the line's operational performance.
Right-of-way agents plan to begin communications to landowners about preliminary field activities later this fall.
