During their September 26 meeting, the Public Utility Commission unanimously approved a transmission plan to meet future electricity needs of the Permian Basin region, as required by HB 5066 88(R). The plan includes two categories of transmission infrastructure to support current/future power needs: new and upgraded local transmission projects to strengthen the area’s transmission service and new import paths that will bring additional power to the region to serve the area’s growing electricity needs.
