Mathewson - Redbud Project

Transource Energy, a partnership between American Electric Power and Evergy, plans to build approximately 40 miles of 345-kilovolt transmission line between the Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E) Mathewson Substation in Piedmont and the OG&E Redbud Energy Facility in Luther, Oklahoma.

The Southwest Power Pool (SPP), the regional transmission operator who oversees and monitors the power grid across 14 states, mandated this project to relieve congestion on the power grid in and around Oklahoma City. After considering several alternative projects, SPP awarded this project to Transource through a competitive proposal process involving other transmission service providers.
