[QUOTE="vdub, post: 1588995, member: 6845"] Another aspect that comes into play with transmission is that PSO/AEP, OGE, and other utilites in Oklahoma belong to the Southwest Power Pool (SPP). What SPP does is transmission planning out as far as 11 years in the future for all member's transmission systems as a whole. So a lot of the transmission projects that are constructed on a regular basis are actually designated and specified by SPP. Good thing for utilities is the cost sharing between members based on a number of variables as all projects are usually mutually beneficial to all members. There are a few projects that are not designated by SPP and costs not shared among members but those are usually smaller projects and typically deal with older tranmission level voltages. All of what Dustin said is how the system works and what will happen if demand > generation. Once PSO works out the issues that they are currently experiencing, there system should be more than capable to keep the system up and functional. What you should be most worried about is if they don't get the issues worked out before schools get back in session. With that amount of load coming on the system during peak demand, it might get dicey and rolling blackouts could become a reality. [/QUOTE]
