The transmission line is being rebuilt between the Ochiltree Substation northwest of Perryton, Texas and the Cole Substation about 9 miles west of Balko, Oklahoma.
The project will help to improve reliability and increase load growth capacity in the area.
A Notice to Construct for the project was approved by the Southwest Power Pool in 2010.
Single pole steel structures ranging between 70 and 110 feet tall were used.
The Ochiltree-Cole 115 kV transmission line was energized November 19, 2015.
