Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC (Oncor) is proposing to construct a new 765 kilovolt (kV) transmission line from Oncor’s proposed Dinosaur Switch, located approximately 3 miles north of the City of Glen Rose in Somervell County, to Oncor’s existing Longshore Switch located approximately 4.5 miles west of the City of Forsan in Howard County, Texas (Project).
Oncor is committed to routing the proposed transmission line in a manner consistent with the values of local communities, the Texas Utilities Code, and the Public Utility Commission of Texas’s rules and policies. In support of this Project, Oncor has scheduled three public participation meetings to solicit input regarding routing alternatives for the Project. The first two were held this week in Big Spring on Monday, June 2nd, and in Sweetwater on June 3rd. The last of which is in Stephenville, Texas today, June 4, 2025, from 5-7 PM.
Kimley-Horn and Associates (Kimley-Horn) and Halff Associates (Halff), consulting firms retained by Oncor for the Project, have identified preliminary alternative transmission line route links, which are shown as dashed lines on the provided map. Maps with greater detail will be exhibited at the meetings. Individuals attending these “come-and-go” open house meetings will have an opportunity to ask questions and provide comments to representatives and technical experts from Oncor, Kimley-Horn, and Halff regarding the routing of the Project.
According to Oncor, these preliminary alternative route links are subject to modification based on information received at the public participation meetings and further studies. If you have any questions concerning the Project or these meetings, please contact Ms. Christine Williams at Oncor at (214) 486-5841 or email transmissionprojects@oncor.com.
