PUC Docket No. 39479 has been assigned to this project.

LCRA Transmission Services Corporation is proposing a 138-kilovolt (kv) transmission line and station be constructed in Guadalupe County.

The new transmission line will be built on single-circuit structures and connect the existing Cushman Station in Seguin to the proposed LCRA TSC Highway 123 Station. The new station will be tapped into the existing Guadalupe Valley Electric Cooperative's Hickory Forest to New Berlin 138-kv transmission line in the vicinity of Highway 123 south of Seguin.

The entire project will be approximately six to nine miles long, depending on the final route, which the PUC will select. The transmission line is scheduled to become operational by June 2014.

This project will help ensure reliable electric service to existing and anticipated City of Seguin electric load served out of the Cushman Station. The new transmission line will provide an alternative transmission source to the Cushman Station and serve as a source to meet anticipated load growth south of Seguin.
