The final route for the $100 million Sooner-Wekiwa transmission line proposed by Transource Energy in northeast Oklahoma was recently revealed and some residents are putting up a fight.
Transource is a partnership between Ohio-based AEP and Evergy and received approval by the Southwest Power Pool for the 76-mile line reported the Sand Springs Leader.
The Southwest Power Pool (SPP) awarded Transource the opportunity to construct a new electric transmission line in Oklahoma to address deficiencies in the electric grid and improve consumer access to low-cost power in Oklahoma as well as some customers in Arkansas, Missouri, Texas and Louisiana, while providing $16.8 million in congestion savings during the first year and $465.6 million over the next 40 years.
