Analysis

The the site has 4 transmission lines rated at 138 kV or above within 5 miles of the parcel boundary, plus 4 additional lines at 69 kV. The total transmission line mileage within the 5-mile buffer is 23.3 miles, indicating moderate grid density in the area. The closest 138 kV line (ALLENHURST to CANEY) is 2.83 miles from the parcel boundary, operated by AEP TEXAS CENTRAL COMPANY. No transmission lines cross the parcel boundary directly. The highest voltage class present within 5 miles is 138 kV. All identified lines are AEP Texas or AEP Texas Central Company infrastructure, indicating a single utility service territory which simplifies interconnection negotiations.

Next Steps

  • Contact AEP Texas Central Company to discuss interconnection options at the ALLENHURST or CANEY substations, which are endpoints of the nearby 138 kV lines.
  • Request a feasibility study for a gen-tie connection to the nearest 138 kV line (ALLENHURST to CANEY corridor, 2.8 mi from parcel).
  • Evaluate whether the 69 kV Franklins Camp-CANEY line (0.9 mi from parcel) could serve as a temporary or supplementary interconnection point for lower-capacity needs.
  • Investigate potential for higher-voltage (345 kV) transmission access — the nearest 345 kV lines are approximately 8-10 miles away near the South Texas Project area.
