COMPETITIVE RENEWAL ENERGY – PROPOSED ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION LINES TO COME THROUGH THE AREA
May 8th, 2009 categories: Comfort Community News, Views & Faces
The LCRA will hold informational meetings on Tuesday night from 6p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Comfort Park and Thursday night from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Tally Elementary School regarding proposed transmission lines carrying competitive renewable energy (e.g., wind generated energy) through the Gillespie/Kerr/Kendall area:
According to the LCRA website,
LCRA TSC proposes to construct two new bundled conductor, 345-kilovolt (kV) double-circuit capable transmission lines primarily on steel lattice structures. The first transmission line will connect either the proposed Westwind Station, to be located in northern Kerr or southern Gillespie counties, or the existing Kendall Station located in western Kendall County, to the expanded Gillespie Station in central Gillespie County. The first transmission line may be located in portions of Kerr, Gillespie, and Kendall counties, depending on which endpoint, Westwind or Kendall, is selected by the PUC. The proposed Westwind station, if approved by the PUC, would be located along an existing LCRA transmission line.
