  1. Nacogdoches to Lufkin SS 345 kV Line Project James Teixeira Manager, Regional Planning Technical Advisory Committee

  2. Description of Project • Add new conductor to existing structures for 13 miles from Nacogdoches Southeast to Herty North • Build new 10 mile double circuit capable with one circuit in place 345 kV line on new ROW from Herty North to Lufkin Switch • Needed in service ASAP (estimated 2012 peak) • Estimated cost : $29.2 M Technical Advisory Committee

  3. Location of Project Existing Structures/ROW New Structures/ROW Technical Advisory Committee

  4. Reliability/Economic Needs for Project • Solves overloading/congestion at Nacogdoches Southeast 345/138 kV autotransformer • Adds 2nd 345 kV source to Nacogdoches and Lufkin • Allows exit of existing Mt. Enterprise SPS • Identified as economic in the 2007 Five-Year Plan with production costs savings of $ 13.4 M in 2012 Technical Advisory Committee

  5. Alternative Considered • Move the Mount Enterprise to Martin Lake 345 kV circuit off of the Mount Enterprise to Trinidad 345 kV circuit structures so that single tower outage does not cause loss of both circuits • Reconfigure Mount Enterprise Switch Station so that single breaker failure does not cause loss of both circuits • Solves overloading/congestion on Nacogdoches Southeast 345/138 kV autotransformer for one contingency but not all • Production cost savings of $ 7.2 M in 2012 • Capital cost estimates were not calculated Technical Advisory Committee
