Oncor proposes 765-kV West Texas transmission line as landowners raise concerns

A proposed high-voltage transmission line could soon cut across parts of West Texas. Oncor Electric Delivery Company proposed the 'Dinosaur–Longshore 765-kilovolt Transmission Line Project' as part of a broader effort to upgrade the area's current outdated power grid. The project would include over 200 miles of transmission lines that would run through areas of West Texas, with the final route still pending approval from the Public Utility Commission of Texas. The plan also incorporates steel lattice towers carrying 765-kilovolt lines, a higher voltage than what is currently common across much of Texas. Residents have raised concerns about the project's possible impacts on private property, land value, and the visual and environmental footprint of large transmission towers. Oncor says the technology is widely used across the United States and is designed to move electricity farther and more efficiently, reducing strain on the grid as demand continues to grow. The Public Utility Commission of Texas will decide the final route after reviewing proposals and public input, and if approved, the project is currently planned for completion in 2028. A meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 25 at the UCCA Community Center at 6pm, for anyone seeking additional information pertaining to the project.
