OKLAHOMA — People in northeastern Oklahoma can weigh in on a proposed high-voltage transmission line project that would stretch about 100 miles through Green Country.
The project, called the Northeast Oklahoma Transmission Enhancement Project, is being proposed by AEP, which is PSO’s parent company. It is divided into two section, west and east, and would cross Washington, Nowata, Craig and Ottawa Counties.
Monday’s public comment session is specifically for the west section, a 34-mile line that would connect the Delaware Substation, to the Kansas-Oklahoma border.
AEP says the project is intended to improve electric grid reliability in Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri.
The public comment session is taking place at the Oklahoma Corporation Commission in Oklahoma City. You can join through Zoom by clicking here.
