Project Overview and Map

​

Brazos Electric proposes to construct approximately 19 miles of new 138 kilovolt (kV) double-circuit capable transmission line, utilizing single-pole structures in Montague and Cooke counties. The proposed project will connect the existing Sivells Bend Substation in Cooke County, Texas to a new switch station located near the intersection of FM 1956 and FM 677 in Montague County, Texas. The new Bulcher Switch Station is approximately 10 acres. Minor improvements may be required at the Sivells Bend and Capps Corner Substations. The proposed right-of-way width for the new transmission line is 70 feet. 

 

The Bulcher to Sivells Bend project is part of the Cooke County Resiliency Project that aims to address thermal overloads and voltage violations in Cooke County. ​This project will enhance system capacity and improve service reliability for Brazos Electric Cooperative and its member-customers.
