Oklahoma landowners pack hearing to oppose 34-mile transmission line

Dozens of northeast Oklahoma landowners, ranchers and community advocates packed an Oklahoma Corporation Commission hearing Monday to voice their opposition to a proposed high-voltage transmission line, raising concerns about multigenerational family farms and potential health and wildlife consequences. The agency held a prehearing conference and public comment session on American Electric Power (AEP) Oklahoma Transmission Company Inc.’s application for a certificate of authority to construct the Northeast Oklahoma Transmission Enhancement Project (NEOTEP) West. The west segment of the project involves building a 34-mile, 345-kilovolt overhead electric transmission line through Washington and Nowata counties, connecting the existing Delaware Substation to the Oklahoma-Kansas border. The line, according to a June filing by AEP, would utilize steel poles ranging from 110 to 150 feet in height along a 150-foot-wide right-of-way corridor. NEOTEP West is part of a federally regulated, regional reliability initiative mandated by the Southwest Power Pool (SPP), the regional transmission organization covering a 14-state network. The full NEOTEP, which carries a $342 million cost, is designed to route wind energy from Kansas through northeastern Oklahoma to load centers in Missouri. It includes a planned eastern segment that runs 68 miles across Craig and Ottawa counties. More: Will Oklahoma data centers put
