LCRA and CREZ
Proposal

In its Sept, 12, 2008, CREZ transmission plan proposal filing with the PUC, LCRA TSC has proposed to build the following new transmission lines:

  • Gillespie to Newton, single circuit, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 105 miles in length, located in Gillespie, Llano, Burnet and Lampasas counties. The new line will run from the existing LCRA TSC Gillespie Station located near Fredericksburg, Texas, to a new substation to be located near Lampasas, Texas. This new substation, to be called Newton, would be constructed by Oncor Electric Delivery. This project will require certification by the PUC.
  • Kendall to Gillespie, single circuit, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 18 miles in length, located in Kendall and Gillespie counties. This project would involve the installation of a new transmission line from the existing LCRA TSC Kendall Station located just east of IH 10, near Comfort, to the existing LCRA TSC Gillespie Station located near Fredericksburg. This project will require certification by the PUC.
  • Mason to Pitsburg, 138-kV line; approximately 28 miles in length, located in Llano and Mason counties. This project involves the upgrade of the existing 69-kV transmission line that runs from the existing LCRA TSC Pitsburg Station located in Llano to the existing Central Texas Electric Cooperative Mason Station located near Mason, Texas, to 138-kV. This project may require certification by the PUC.
  • McCamey A to Odessa, single circuit, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 50 miles in length, located in Upton, Pecos, Ector, Crane and Midland counties. This project would involve the installation of a new transmission line from the existing LCRA TSC North McCamey Station located near McCamey, to the existing Oncor Odessa Station located near Odessa. This project will require certification by the PUC.
  • McCamey C to McCamey A, single circuit, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 12 miles in length, located in Pecos County . This project would involve the installation of a new 345-kV transmission line from the existing LCRA TSC North McCamey Station located near McCamey, to the new AEP McCamey C Station, which is yet to be located. This project will require certification by the PUC.
  • McCamey D to Kendall, double circuit 345-kV line; approximately 137 miles in length, located in Schleicher, Sutton, Kimble, Kerr, Kendall, and Gillespie counties. This project would involve the installation of a new 345-kV transmission line from the new AEP McCamey D Station, which is yet to be located, to the existing LCRA TSC Kendall Station located just east of IH 10 near Comfort. This project will require certification by the PUC.
  • McCamey D to Twin Buttes, single circuit, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 31 miles in length, located in Schleicher, Irion, and Tom Green counties. This project would involve the installation of a new 345-kV transmission line from the existing LCRA TSC Twin Buttes Station located in Tom Green County to the new AEP McCamey D Station, which is yet to be located. This project will require certification by the PUC.
  • Central D to Divide, single circuit, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 6 miles in length, located in Sterling and Coke counties. This project would involve the installation of a new 345-kV transmission line from the new Central D Station, which is yet to be located, to the existing LCRA TSC Divide Station in Coke County. This project will require certification by the PUC.

LCRA and CREZLCRA TSC and Oncor have proposed to jointly construct the following facility:

  • Twin Buttes to Brown, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 106 miles in length, located in Tom Green, Concho, McCulloch, Coleman, Runnels and Brown counties. This project would involve the installation of a second 345-kV circuit on the existing structures of the LCRA TSC Twin Buttes to Comanche 345-kV transmission line from the existing LCRA TSC Twin Butte Station located in Tom Green County to the new Oncor Brown Station, which is yet to be located. This project was previously certificated by the PUC.

LCRA TSC and ETT have proposed to jointly construct the following facility:

  • Bluff Creek to Brown, double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 21 miles in length (LCRA TSC’s portion), located in Brown, Coleman, Taylor and Runnels counties. This project would involve the installation of a new 345-kV transmission line from the existing Bluff Creek Station located in southwest Taylor County to the new Oncor Brown Station, which is yet to be located. This project will require certification by the PUC.

LCRA TSC has proposed to rebuild the following transmission lines:

  • CTEC Kendall to Kendall, single circuit 138-kV line; approximately 0.2 mile in length, located in Kendall County. This project would involve the rebuilding and relocating of the existing LCRA TSC 138-kV transmission line from the CTEC Kendall Station to LCRA TSC’s Kendall Station located just east of IH 10, near Comfort. This project may require certification by the PUC.
  • Raymond Barker to Verde Creek, single circuit 138-kV line; approximately 2 miles in length, located in Kerr County. This project would involve the rebuilding of the existing LCRA TSC 138-kV transmission line from LCRA TSC’s Raymond Barker Station to BEC’s Verde Creek Station.
  • Goldthwaite to Evant, single circuit 138-kV line; approximately 24 miles in length, located in Lampasas, Mills and Hamilton counties. This project would involve the rebuilding of the existing LCRA TSC 138-kV transmission line from LCRA TSC’s Goldthwaite Station to LCRA TSC’s Evant Station.

LCRA TSC has proposed to add a second circuit to the following existing transmission lines:

  • Divide to Twin Buttes, a double circuit capable 345-kV line; approximately 25 miles in length, located in Tom Green and Coke counties. This project would involve the installation of a second 345-kV circuit on the existing structures of the LCRA TSC Divide to Twin Buttes 345-kV transmission line from the existing LCRA TSC Divide Station to the existing LCRA TSC Twin Buttes Station. This project was previously certificated by the PUC.
  • McCamey B to North McCamey, a double circuit capable 138-kV line; approximately 15 miles in length, located in Crockett, Upton, and Pecos counties. This project would involve the installation of a second circuit on the existing structures of the LCRA TSC North McCamey to West Yates 138-kV transmission line from the existing LCRA TSC North McCamey Station to the new LCRA TSC McCamey B Station, which is yet to be located. This project may be exempt from requiring a CCN since it involves adding a second circuit to an existing line.
